Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SpeecherPro at 4.5 against Brainwave's 2.0. SpeecherPro also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1). Brainwave's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 53 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
