Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Text to Speech at 4.4 against Speech's 3.7. Text to Speech also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 9). Speech's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text to Speech sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Speech sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Text to Speech holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text to Speech has 58 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
