ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AI Note Taker holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Audio Transcription's written reviews are positive against 25% of AI Note Taker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
