Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cue at none against Reminder Text's shown. Cue also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Reminder Text's advantage is ratings volume (132 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
