Verdict

The call

Text Call's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (600 vs 5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Text Call holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Call has 600 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Text Call's written reviews are positive against 89% of Crew Mingle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Text Call ships an update fortnightly, Crew Mingle every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
