Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Note Widget + at 78% against Voice to Text Pro's 31%. Note Widget + also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (445 vs 3). Voice to Text Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
