Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Text Me at 4.7 against Wsecond's 2.8. Text Me also leads on ratings volume (674K vs 97) and review sentiment (28% vs 9%). Wsecond's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Me sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Wsecond sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Text Me holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Me has 674K ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of Text Me's written reviews are positive against 9% of Wsecond's.
Text Me ships an update fortnightly, Wsecond every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
