Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EJBL Connect at none against Text Phone's 10. EJBL Connect also leads on ads (none vs shown). Text Phone's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
