Verdict
Text to Speech and Flash Cards + both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Flash Cards +'s written reviews are positive against 30% of Text to Speech's. Flash Cards + also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). Text to Speech's advantage is ratings volume (685 vs 87). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text to Speech sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Flash Cards + asks for nothing beyond the download.
Text to Speech holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text to Speech has 685 ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Text to Speech's written reviews are positive against 73% of Flash Cards +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Text to Speech ships an update every 2 weeks, Flash Cards + every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
