Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ever After at 88% against WedTexts's 39%. Ever After also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 88). WedTexts's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
