RelayPony

RelayPony sends files straight from one device to another, encrypted end to end. Pair once, then send any time: photos, videos, documents, whatever you have. When two paired devices are on the same network or nearby, RelayPony connects them directly, so your files never touch a server. You can also send over the internet to a paired device that is not nearby. RelayPony tries a direct connection between the two devices first, and only falls back to a relay if it cannot connect directly. Everything stays encrypted end to end the whole way with the age encryption protocol, so the relay only ever sees ciphertext, never your files or your keys. Pairing is a one-time step. Scan a QR code, confirm the short code both devices show, and from then on the two are paired and can send to each other. Why people use it: Direct device to device on your local network, with no server in the middle. Send over the internet to a paired device anywhere, with an encrypted relay used only as a fallback when a direct link is not possible. End to end encrypted with age. Only the two paired devices can read what is sent. No account, no sign-up, no email required. Works even with no shared Wi-Fi, by connecting the two devices directly. Send by address when the other device does not show up on its own. Send to any nearby phone or tablet, whatever the other person carries. Send multiple files at once, with a live progress bar. Save received photos straight to your library. Available in English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Portuguese, and Hindi. RelayPony is free. No in-app purchases and no ads. The core of RelayPony is open source, so the way it pairs, encrypts, and transfers files is out in the open for anyone to read and verify. You can find it on GitHub. RelayPony is part of the Pony family of privacy tools, alongside PGPony for OpenPGP, AgePony for age encryption, and QuorumPony for key backup. Questions or feedback: NorseHorse@norsehor.se

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RelayPony at none against CryptoText's shown. CryptoText's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
