# Moxy Messenger vs New SMS

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: New SMS at none against Moxy Messenger's 6. New SMS also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Moxy Messenger's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.1 vs 3.7). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moxy Messenger sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. New SMS asks for nothing beyond the download.

Moxy Messenger holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moxy Messenger has 1.3K ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Moxy Messenger's written reviews are positive against 38% of New SMS's.
