Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Saying at 3.8 against Speech to Text+'s 3.0. Saying also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Speech to Text+'s advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Saying holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Saying has 55 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Saying's written reviews are positive against 32% of Speech to Text+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Saying ships an update every 2 days, Speech to Text+ every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
