# Voice to Text vs NoteIQ

The clearest difference is rating: NoteIQ at 5.0 against Voice to Text's 4.5. Voice to Text's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Voice to Text sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and NoteIQ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NoteIQ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Voice to Text has 11K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Voice to Text ships an update every 6 days, NoteIQ every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
