Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SayIt at none against ArticleCast's shown. SayIt also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). ArticleCast's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

SayIt holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArticleCast has 32 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
