Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Secure Terminal at 4.5 against Text's 1.4. Secure Terminal also leads on ratings volume (61 vs 5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Text's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
