Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Textplug at 4.7 against Blowpay's 2.4. Textplug also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 5) and review sentiment (21% vs 0%). Blowpay's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
