TalkBeamer is free to download; Stylus Labs Write Pro costs $8.99 up front. TalkBeamer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Stylus Labs Write Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.
TalkBeamer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stylus Labs Write Pro has 40 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of TalkBeamer's written reviews are positive against 77% of Stylus Labs Write Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
