# Lextra vs Text to Voice

The clearest difference is rating: Text to Voice at 4.8 against Lextra's 4.1. Text to Voice also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 22%) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 26). Lextra's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (972 vs 15). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lextra sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Text to Voice sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Text to Voice holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lextra has 972 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Lextra's written reviews are positive against 50% of Text to Voice's.

Lextra ships an update fortnightly, Text to Voice every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
