Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Textos at none against Text Number's 14. Textos also leads on ads (none vs shown). Text Number's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
