# Fext vs Bulk Sms Plans

The clearest difference is rating: Fext at 4.0 against Bulk Sms Plans's 1.0. Fext also leads on ratings volume (551 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Bulk Sms Plans's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and review sentiment (33% vs 24%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fext sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Bulk Sms Plans sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fext holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fext has 551 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Fext's written reviews are positive against 33% of Bulk Sms Plans's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fext ships an update every 5 days, Bulk Sms Plans fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
