Verdict
The clearest difference is price: myTextViewer at Free against Zource's $0.99. myTextViewer also leads on ratings volume (156 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Zource's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 54%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
