Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: e at 3.9 against Textline's 2.7. e also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Textline's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
