# Narrator's Voice vs Speechify

Narrator's Voice also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Speechify's advantage is ratings volume (528K vs 11K) and chart position (#18 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. Narrator's Voice sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Speechify sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
