Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReelType at none against Text Call's 15. ReelType also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). Text Call's advantage is ratings volume (600 vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
