Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Talkbox Messenger at none against Supertext's 10. Talkbox Messenger also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (68% vs 40%). Supertext's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (3.2 vs 2.9). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
