Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ContactsPro HX at none against Textar's 4. ContactsPro HX also leads on review sentiment (22% vs 0%) and chart position (#98 vs unranked). Textar's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
