Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Text Cleaner at Free against DateWidget's $0.99. Text Cleaner also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (32 vs 1). DateWidget's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 19 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
