# ToText vs Transcriber

The clearest difference is rating: Transcriber at 4.3 against ToText's 3.0. Transcriber also leads on ratings volume (86 vs 6). ToText's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (67% vs 44%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Transcriber sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. ToText asks for nothing beyond the download.

Transcriber holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transcriber has 86 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of ToText's written reviews are positive against 44% of Transcriber's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
