# Text to Speech vs 文本转语音

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 文本转语音 at none against Text to Speech's 1. 文本转语音 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Text to Speech's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text to Speech sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.49 per month. 文本转语音 asks for nothing beyond the download.

文本转语音 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text to Speech has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
