Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Text to Voice at 5.0 against Synthy's 4.2. Text to Voice also leads on device support (3 vs 1).

Both are free to download. Synthy sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Text to Voice sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Text to Voice holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Synthy has 384 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Synthy's written reviews are positive against 50% of Text to Voice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Synthy ships an update monthly, Text to Voice every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
