Record videos of yourself talking as a celebrity, politician, or even a realistic painting or doll. Then save the video or share it on iMessage, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, or other social media sites. Talkr Live's advanced 3D algorithms detect your facial movements and apply them to the photo, making you instantly more attractive and popular. OK, maybe not more popular, but you can choose to be whoever you want to be! You can also switch between multiple faces in the same photo, or between different photos in the same video. Talkr Live works best on iPhones with a depth camera (iPhone X, XS, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 12, 12 Pro, 12 mini), but any iPhone 6S or later model will work. In-app purchases allow you to create high resolution videos and videos without the Talkr logo. All other features are free.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Talkr Live at free with in-app purchases against Speech Bubble Maker's subscription. Talkr Live also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Speech Bubble Maker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Talkr Live sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Talkr Live holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 800 and 824 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Speech Bubble Maker's written reviews are positive against 52% of Talkr Live's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Speech Bubble Maker ships an update every 4 months, Talkr Live every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
