Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: PDFMagic at Free against Voice Recorder Plus Pro's $4.99. PDFMagic also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 42%). Voice Recorder Plus Pro's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
