# Second Phone Number' vs eSIM Plus

The clearest difference is rating: Second Phone Number' at 4.6 against eSIM Plus's 4.0. Second Phone Number' also leads on ratings volume (46K vs 1.7K) and chart position (#147 vs unranked). eSIM Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (40% vs 12%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Second Phone Number' sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and eSIM Plus sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Second Phone Number' holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Second Phone Number' has 46K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Second Phone Number''s written reviews are positive against 40% of eSIM Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Second Phone Number' ships an update every 5 weeks, eSIM Plus weekly. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
