Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: TextMagic at weekly against SimpleTexting's every 3 months. TextMagic also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (31% vs 22%). SimpleTexting's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 258). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
