Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Santa Pass at 5.0 against TextsFromSanta's 3.1. Santa Pass also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 51 months vs every 121 months). TextsFromSanta's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
