Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: TextMagic at every 2 weeks against MWV SMS's every 27 months. TextMagic also leads on ratings volume (267 vs 1). MWV SMS's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
