Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Text to Speech! at every 2 weeks against Text to Voice's every 5 months. Text to Speech! also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 11) and review sentiment (60% vs 50%). Text to Voice's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Text to Voice holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text to Speech! has 33K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Text to Speech!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Text to Voice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Text to Speech! ships an update every 2 weeks, Text to Voice every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
