Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Affinitiv Messaging holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Numa has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Affinitiv Messaging's written reviews are positive against 75% of Numa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Affinitiv Messaging ships an update every 6 weeks, Numa every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
