Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iNet at Free against Text Calculator's $0.99. iNet also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 18 months). Text Calculator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
