Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TypePaw at none against Audio Transcript's 6. TypePaw also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Audio Transcript's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
