Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Range Dash at none against textPlus's 13. Range Dash also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). textPlus's advantage is ratings volume (272K vs 1) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.
