Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProText LTC at none against Eko's 2. ProText LTC also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Eko's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 1) and chart position (#6 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
