Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Threaditor at Free against Dictation Pro's $44.99. Threaditor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Dictation Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (512 vs 1). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Threaditor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dictation Pro has 512 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Dictation Pro's written reviews are positive against 67% of Threaditor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dictation Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, Threaditor every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
