Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Friends Party at none against Text ▹'s shown. Friends Party also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Text ▹'s advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
