Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Read Out Loud Reader at free with in-app purchases against Text to Speech's subscription. Read Out Loud Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Text to Speech's advantage is review sentiment (26% vs 14%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
