SMS Proxy lets you receive verification codes on a shared phone number, so you can sign up for forums, shopping sites and app tests without giving out your own. Pick a number, paste it into the form and watch the code arrive with SMS Proxy Pro. The numbers are shared, so others can see the same messages. Use them for low-stakes sign-ups and testing, never for banking, payments or any account you need to keep. • Code detection — picks out the code, not prices or dates, and one tap copies it • Live inbox — new messages appear on their own while the app is open • Live Activities — on iPhone and iPad, see the newest code on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Siri and Shortcuts — ask for the latest code from a number, or use it in a shortcut • Search or random — find a number by its digits, or jump to a random one No account, no ads and no tracking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TPN at 4.4 against SMS Proxy's 3.7. TPN also leads on ratings volume (737 vs 6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). SMS Proxy's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases 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. TPN sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SMS Proxy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TPN holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TPN has 737 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of TPN's written reviews are positive against 20% of SMS Proxy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TPN ships an update every 2 months, SMS Proxy every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
