Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UpKeep at none against Reminder Text's 11. UpKeep also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Reminder Text's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
