# 2nd try vs The Pillow Talk

The clearest difference is monetization model: The Pillow Talk at free with in-app purchases against 2nd try's subscription. The Pillow Talk also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). 2nd try's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (7.4K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2nd try sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and The Pillow Talk sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

2nd try holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2nd try has 7.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
