Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Payload at 5.0 against AI recording's 3.7. Payload also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). AI recording's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
