# Peech vs Text to Speech

The clearest difference is rating: Text to Speech at 4.9 against Peech's 4.4. Text to Speech also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 44%) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Peech's advantage is ratings volume (8.6K vs 136) and chart position (#122 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peech sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Text to Speech sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Text to Speech holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peech has 8.6K ratings behind it against 136, 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 75% of Text to Speech's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
