Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Talking Pet Run at none against My Talking Tom's 11. Talking Pet Run also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). My Talking Tom's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Talking Tom holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Talking Tom has 379K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of My Talking Tom's written reviews are positive against 75% of Talking Pet Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Talking Tom ships an update fortnightly, Talking Pet Run every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
