Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Instant Transcript at 5.0 against Speech to Text's 4.4. Instant Transcript also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Speech to Text's advantage is ratings volume (128 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
