# Peech vs Audio Transcribe

The clearest difference is rating: Peech at 4.4 against Audio Transcribe's 2.8. Peech also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8.6K vs 11). Audio Transcribe's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peech sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Audio Transcribe sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Peech holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peech has 8.6K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Peech's written reviews are positive against 21% of Audio Transcribe's.
