The clearest difference is review sentiment: Annotate Audio at 100% against Chunk's 36%. Annotate Audio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). Chunk's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chunk sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Annotate Audio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
