Verdict
The clearest difference is price: myTextViewer at Free against JSitor's $0.99. myTextViewer also leads on ratings volume (156 vs 30) and review sentiment (54% vs 45%). JSitor's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
