Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MyTextJournal at 100% against My LLS's 25%. MyTextJournal also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). My LLS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MyTextJournal sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. My LLS asks for nothing beyond the download.
MyTextJournal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4.
