Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reminder Text at 78% against Fext's 24%. Reminder Text also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Fext's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
