The clearest difference is rating: 2ndNumber at 2.0 against Private Text Message's 1.4. 2ndNumber also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6).

Both are free to download. Private Text Message sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. 2ndNumber asks for nothing beyond the download.
2ndNumber holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Text Message has 23 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Private Text Message's written reviews are positive against 0% of 2ndNumber's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
