Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Recorder Plus at 4.8 against Audio Editor's 1.6. Recorder Plus also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 40%) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 9). Audio Editor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
