# talkmaker vs 万叙集

The clearest difference is rating: talkmaker at 4.8 against 万叙集's 2.0. talkmaker also leads on ratings volume (518 vs 2). 万叙集's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. talkmaker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 万叙集 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

talkmaker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: talkmaker has 518 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of talkmaker's written reviews are positive against 65% of 万叙集's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

talkmaker ships an update every 2 weeks, 万叙集 every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
