Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Paramount Works at none against Text's shown. Paramount Works also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.7.2). Text's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
