# Speech Text vs TTS

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speech Text at none against TTS's 1. Speech Text also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TTS sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Speech Text asks for nothing beyond the download.
