Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Depict at 4.1 against Voice Notes's 3.8. Depict also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days) and review sentiment (75% vs 67%). Voice Notes's advantage is ratings volume (193 vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
