Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Voice Pacer at 100% against Pace's 75%. Voice Pacer also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Pace's advantage is ratings volume (386 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
