Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Text Diary at 4.6 against Neslis's 2.0. Text Diary also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 32 months). Neslis's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
