ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Second Texting Number holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Second Texting Number has 66K ratings behind it against 2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Second Line Calling/Texting's written reviews are positive against 58% of Second Texting Number's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Second Line Calling/Texting ships an update every 2 months, Second Texting Number every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
