Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Free Text App Plus 2nd Calling at free with in-app purchases against Text ▹'s subscription. Free Text App Plus 2nd Calling also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). Text ▹'s advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 493) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
