Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Voice Tablet at 100% against Hieroglyphic Keyboard's 52%. Voice Tablet also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). Hieroglyphic Keyboard's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
