Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Enabled Learning at 100% against Voice Dream's 43%. Enabled Learning also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Voice Dream's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (14K vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Voice Dream holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Voice Dream has 14K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Voice Dream's written reviews are positive against 100% of Enabled Learning's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
