# withit vs Text App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: withit at 80% against Text App's 30%. withit also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Text App's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 122) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text App sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. withit asks for nothing beyond the download.

Text App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text App has 3.5K ratings behind it against 122, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of withit's written reviews are positive against 30% of Text App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

withit ships an update every 10 days, Text App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
