Verdict
The clearest difference is price: RawText at Free against Encore's $0.99. RawText also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months). Encore's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (11 vs 3). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
