Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
PeTalk is free to download; Icon Pack costs $2.99 up front. PeTalk sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Icon Pack asks for nothing beyond the download.
Icon Pack holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PeTalk has 445 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of PeTalk's written reviews are positive against 0% of Icon Pack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PeTalk ships an update every 4 months, Icon Pack every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
