# SendHype vs Group Text

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.

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.
