Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Talking Tom at 4.3 against Talking Cactus's 3.5. My Talking Tom also leads on ratings volume (373K vs 12) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Talking Cactus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Talking Tom sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Talking Cactus asks for nothing beyond the download.
My Talking Tom holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Talking Tom has 373K ratings behind it against 12, 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 64% of Talking Cactus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Talking Tom ships an update fortnightly, Talking Cactus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
