# Talk.AI vs ForgeStoryLabs

The clearest difference is rating: ForgeStoryLabs at 5.0 against Talk.AI's 4.4. ForgeStoryLabs also leads on ads (none vs shown). Talk.AI's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talk.AI sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and ForgeStoryLabs sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ForgeStoryLabs holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talk.AI has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
