Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Reminderbase at 4.5 against Text Delay's 2.1. Reminderbase also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 15%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Text Delay's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Delay sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Reminderbase sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reminderbase holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reminderbase has 449 ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of Text Delay's written reviews are positive against 44% of Reminderbase's.
Text Delay ships an update every 2 months, Reminderbase every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
