Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ClearNode at Free against Digi Voices's $4.99. ClearNode also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Digi Voices's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#57 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
