Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Text to Speech at 4.4 against AIDI Recorder's 3.3. Text to Speech also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 38 months) and ratings volume (667 vs 3). AIDI Recorder's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text to Speech sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. AIDI Recorder asks for nothing beyond the download.
Text to Speech holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text to Speech has 667 ratings behind it against 3, 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 50% of AIDI Recorder'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 11 days, AIDI Recorder every 38 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
