Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: STELLA Insights at 5.0 against ReyText's 2.4. STELLA Insights also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 9 months). ReyText's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
