# Talking Ryan vs Talking with Santa Claus 3d

Talking Ryan and Talking with Santa Claus 3d both sit at 3.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Talking with Santa Claus 3d's written reviews are positive against 46% of Talking Ryan's. Talking Ryan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 35 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talking Ryan sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Talking with Santa Claus 3d sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Talking Ryan holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talking Ryan has 225 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Talking Ryan's written reviews are positive against 100% of Talking with Santa Claus 3d's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Talking Ryan ships an update every 2 months, Talking with Santa Claus 3d every 35 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
