Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 4 in a Row at none against TextingCheckers's 1. 4 in a Row also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 18.6). TextingCheckers's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
