Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Native at 5.0 against SeeNSpeak's 3.9. Native also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18). SeeNSpeak's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SeeNSpeak sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Native sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Native holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SeeNSpeak has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of SeeNSpeak's written reviews are positive against 100% of Native's.
