Verdict
DHQ and Textplug both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of DHQ's written reviews are positive against 20% of Textplug's. DHQ also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Textplug's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
