Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reminder Text at 78% against Scheduled's 10%. Reminder Text also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.8). Scheduled's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 133). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
