Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Generic transcribe at none against Speak Here's 2. Generic transcribe also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). Speak Here's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.8.3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
