Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VeroSMS at 3.6 against SMS Spam Filter's 3.0. VeroSMS also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (306 vs 2).

Both are free to download. VeroSMS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. SMS Spam Filter asks for nothing beyond the download.
VeroSMS holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VeroSMS has 306 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of VeroSMS's written reviews are positive against 82% of SMS Spam Filter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VeroSMS ships an update every 3 weeks, SMS Spam Filter every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
