AcapelaMOV is an additional application available with the My-Own-Voice service that allows you to test your personalised digital voice (rather than the standard Acapela voices) just created on a specific offline device. After creating your digital voice a confirmation notification will be sent by e-mail. You can then retrieve and test the voice. You will need to use your My-Own-Voice credentials for this. Once the digital voice is installed, it will be accessible, free of charge, for 3 months. After the test period, you can re activate/re download your digital voice if you purchased/subscribed to the service or if the service was subsidised and ordered by an organisation. AcapelaMOV is not an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) application, but rather a basic tool that can be used to listen to your digital voice.

Speech Assistant is an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app for individuals with speech difficulties. Communicate using a fully customizable phrase board — controlled by touch, or entirely hands-free with your face. Head Tracking — Hands-Free Control Use your iPhone's front camera to control the app with head movements alone. No touch required. A smooth on-screen cursor follows your gaze and activates any phrase tile after a brief dwell — enabling fully independent communication for users with limited or no hand mobility. Communicate Instantly Tap — or dwell — on any phrase tile to speak it aloud using high-quality text-to-speech or your own recorded voice. Organize with Categories Group phrases into categories for quick access. Reorder, hide, or customize each category with icons and layout options. Custom Symbols & Images Attach your own photos or images to phrase tiles for visual communication support. Personal Voice Recording Record your own voice for any phrase. Your recording plays instead of synthesized speech when the phrase is activated. Apple Watch Support Browse categories and speak phrases directly from your wrist — ideal for on-the-go communication. Caretaker Mode A dedicated mode for caregivers to manage phrases and categories without disrupting the user's board. Cloud Sync Phrases, categories, and media sync across devices automatically. Premium Unlock unlimited phrases, categories, custom symbols, and voice recordings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Speech Assistant AAC Pad at 4.3 against AcapelaMov's 3.1. Speech Assistant AAC Pad also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). AcapelaMov's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
