Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Text to Speech at 5.0 against Frateca's 3.9. Frateca's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Frateca sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Text to Speech sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Text to Speech holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frateca has 33 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
