Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Loop by Messiah Lifeways at none against Text App's 7. The Loop by Messiah Lifeways also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Text App's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
