Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ATrove at 50% against Textplug's 20%. ATrove also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). Textplug's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ATrove holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Textplug has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of ATrove's written reviews are positive against 20% of Textplug's.
