Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Any Text · Widgets at 82% against Veho Kasa's 9%. Any Text · Widgets also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.2) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 23 months). Veho Kasa's advantage is price (Free vs $4.00) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
