Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Second Line Calling/Texting at 68% against #Phone's 0%. Second Line Calling/Texting also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 186) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). #Phone's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Second Line Calling/Texting sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and #Phone sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

#Phone holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Second Line Calling/Texting has 2K ratings behind it against 186, 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 0% of #Phone'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, #Phone every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
