Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Audio Transcript at 5.0 against Cue's 4.4. Audio Transcript also leads on ads (none vs shown). Cue's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cue sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Audio Transcript sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Audio Transcript holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cue has 3.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Cue ships an update weekly, Audio Transcript every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
