Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Enterprise SMS at none against MessageDesk's shown. Enterprise SMS also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). MessageDesk's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
