Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SpeakMe at 50% against Speechy text to speech reader's 0%. SpeakMe also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SpeakMe sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Speechy text to speech reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Speechy text to speech reader holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speechy text to speech reader has 113 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of SpeakMe's written reviews are positive against 0% of Speechy text to speech reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
