Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RoboSpeech at 100% against OpenWebUI's 50%. RoboSpeech also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). OpenWebUI's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
