Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Evaluation Grids at none against Dictation's 2. Evaluation Grids also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Dictation's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
