Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Animated Text at none against Text On Video's 10. Animated Text also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.2 vs 3.9). Text On Video's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 14). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
