Sayella vs Proloquo2Go
Proloquo2Go is a mature, well-respected AAC app, and for many families on iPad it does the job beautifully. If you are weighing it up against Sayella, the real differences come down to three things: what it costs to start, which devices it runs on, and whether your words can travel with you.
The short answer
Proloquo2Go asks for around £250 up front and runs only on iPhone and iPad. Sayella gives a communicator a full, offline talking board for free, forever, and runs on iPhone, iPad, Android and the web from one account. If price is what is holding you back, that is the gap Sayella was built to close. If you are already happy on iPad and the cost is not an issue, Proloquo2Go remains an excellent choice.
| Sayella | Proloquo2Go | |
|---|---|---|
| Price to start | Free forever for a full offline talking board. Paid plans are optional. | A one-off payment of around £250, paid before you can use it. |
| Devices it runs on | iPhone and iPad now, with Android and the web on the way. | iPhone and iPad only. No Android, Windows or web version. |
| If you stop paying | Speech and your words are never switched off. The talking board keeps working. | A one-off purchase, so nothing to lapse. But it is Apple-only for life. |
| Your words moving with you | Cloud sync across devices, plus open board format (OBF) import and export. | Backup and transfer within Apple devices; check current export options. |
| Making it your own | Custom words, photos, and AI-made symbols in the app style, on demand. | A large, well-designed symbol library (SymbolStix) and deep customisation. |
| Voices | Built-in device voices free; premium UK voices on the roadmap. | A well-regarded set of natural-sounding voices included. |
