Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Arduino Voice at 5.0 against BASIC's 4.2. Arduino Voice also leads on price ($2.99 vs $11.99) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). BASIC's advantage is chart position (#114 vs unranked) and ratings volume (17 vs 3). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
