The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TreeRing Time Kiosk at none against Group SMS+'s 6. TreeRing Time Kiosk also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). Group SMS+'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
