SendHype allows you to send personalized text messages (iMessage or SMS) to custom contact groups. You can select contacts from your Address Book, create custom contacts or use your existing iCloud contact groups. The messages can be sent individually but also as a group chat message. SEND INDIVIDUAL MESSAGES Even if you send a message to multiple contacts they won't be able to see each other's reply. Each message is sent as a private message and replies are sent back only to you (works like BCC for emails). PERSONALIZE YOUR MESSAGE TEMPLATES You can use placeholders in your message such as [FirstName], [LastName], etc. All these placeholders are replaced with real contact details when the final message is sent. Example: "Hey [FirstName], let's meet tomorrow!" will be delivered as "Hey Kate, let's meet tomorrow!" for a contact named "Kate Johnson". HOW TO USE SENDHYPE IN 4 EASY STEPS 1) Create your custom contact groups or use existing iCloud groups 2) Create a message template (you may include placeholders) 3) Attach photos or videos to your message (optional step) 4) Send the message!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ACTS KIOSK at none against SendHype's 5. ACTS KIOSK also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). SendHype's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
