# Talk Macros vs Maxims

The clearest difference is rating: Maxims at 5.0 against Talk Macros's 4.5. Talk Macros's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.5 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talk Macros sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Maxims sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Maxims holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talk Macros has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Talk Macros ships an update weekly, Maxims every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
