Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Record Recall at Free against Tabatach's $1.99. Record Recall also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Tabatach's advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
