Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ScriptPad at none against LingJi Thai's shown. ScriptPad also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). LingJi Thai's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
