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!

Or switch to group chat mode when you need everyone in one conversation. Trusted by realtors, coaches, churches, event planners, restaurants, and small business owners across the United States. WHY MASSTEXTER? • Personalized 1-on-1 Bulk SMS Send mass messages that land as individual private texts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: SendHype at 1.6K against Group Text's 215. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
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. SendHype sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Group Text sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for SendHype against 4.5 for Group Text. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SendHype has 1.6K ratings behind it against 215, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of SendHype's written reviews are positive against 65% of Group Text's.
SendHype ships an update fortnightly, Group Text every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
