Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Speech to Text+ at Free against BigWrite Markdown's $14.99. Speech to Text+ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.2). BigWrite Markdown's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
