Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Speech to Text at 5.0 against Scan's 4.5. Speech to Text also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription). Scan's advantage is ratings volume (243 vs 9) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Speech to Text sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Speech to Text holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan has 243 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Scan ships an update every 5 days, Speech to Text every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
