Pingoo brings the SMS from the phone that holds your SIM to the iPhone in your hand. Keep the SIM in your Android phone, and read every message on your iPhone the moment it arrives, even if the iPhone has no SIM at all. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Pingoo on both phones: this app on your iPhone, and Pingoo on the Android phone with the SIM (Google Play). 2. On the Android phone choose "This SIM phone shares SMS". On the iPhone choose "Receive SMS on this phone" and scan the QR code. The two phones create a private key that only they share. 3. That is it. New SMS appear on your iPhone within seconds, with a notification that shows the message on the lock screen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - End-to-end encrypted: messages are encrypted on the Android phone and decrypted on your iPhone. Nobody in between can read them, including us. - No account, no phone number, no sign-up. - Unlink any time from either phone. WHAT YOU GET - Every SMS, in real time, with the sender's name from your contacts. - One-tap copy for verification codes. - Conversations grouped by sender, unread badges. - Choose how much history to show: only new, 7 days, 30 days, or all. - Delete an SMS on the Android phone and it disappears here too. - English, Urdu, Arabic, Hindi, Spanish and Chinese. REQUIRES An Android phone with the SIM and the Pingoo app installed from Google Play. The iPhone app receives; it cannot send SMS or read the iPhone's own SMS.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: SMS at 8.0 against Pingoo's 15.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
