Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: QR at 100% against RecordToText's 35%. QR also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). RecordToText's advantage is price (Free vs $19.99) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On device support there is nothing between them.
