# Speech to Text+ vs Transcriber

The clearest difference is rating: Transcriber at 4.3 against Speech to Text+'s 3.0. Transcriber also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speech to Text+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Transcriber sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
