Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: iTransfer at Free against BookToSpeech's $2.99. iTransfer also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 29 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). BookToSpeech's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
