Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scribe at none against Speech to Text+'s 1. Scribe also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Speech to Text+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Scribe asks for nothing beyond the download.
Scribe holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scribe has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Scribe's written reviews are positive against 32% of Speech to Text+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scribe ships an update every 8 days, Speech to Text+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
