Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Group SMS at none against Multi SMS's 1. Group SMS also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 20%). Multi SMS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
