# Robot Talk vs TTS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Robot Talk at 60% against TTS's 17%. Robot Talk also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). TTS's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
