Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: RG SMS at free against SimpleTexting's free with in-app purchases. RG SMS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). SimpleTexting's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 17 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
