Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stepwise at 100% against Text to Speech's 50%. Stepwise also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). Text to Speech's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 2). 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. Text to Speech sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Stepwise sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Stepwise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text to Speech has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Text to Speech's written reviews are positive against 100% of Stepwise's.
