Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Home SA at Free against TextFun's $0.99. Home SA also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). TextFun's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
