Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Transparent Notes at 4.7 against Parakeet Voice Toolkit's 4.1. Transparent Notes also leads on ratings volume (208 vs 15) and device support (4 vs 2).

Both are free to download. Transparent Notes sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Parakeet Voice Toolkit asks for nothing beyond the download.
Transparent Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transparent Notes has 208 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Transparent Notes's written reviews are positive against 67% of Parakeet Voice Toolkit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
