Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Listen To Notes at 5.0 against NaturalReader's 4.6. Listen To Notes also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). NaturalReader's advantage is ratings volume (9.2K vs 1) and chart position (#133 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
