Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: IVOX+ at 100% against ROW8's 38%. IVOX+ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and ads (none vs shown). ROW8's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (48 vs 11). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
