Talk & Text Hub gives you a real US phone number on your iPhone. No SIM card, no contract, and no second device to carry. Pick your number, choose a plan, and start calling over Wi-Fi or mobile data. Your number and your calling credits come together in one plan, with one price and one expiry date. WHAT YOU GET - A real US phone number, picked by you from the numbers available - Calling credits included with every plan - Free calls to other Talk & Text Hub users, always - Your credit balance visible at the top of every screen - Full call history with timestamps and durations - Buy, renew and manage everything inside the app CHOOSE A PLAN Hub Starter — a US number for 15 days, with 400 credits Hub Monthly — a US number for 30 days, with 1,000 credits Hub Yearly — keep the same US number for a full 12 months Would rather keep them separate? Choose a number-only plan for 7, 30 or 365 days, and add credits whenever you need them. TOP UP ANY TIME Running low? Credit packs come in five sizes, from a small starter pack up to 1,000 credits. Credits are added to your balance as soon as the payment goes through. HOW CREDITS WORK Calls to the US and Canada use 2 credits a minute. Calls to other countries use more, depending on where you are calling. Calls to other Talk & Text Hub users are always free and never use credits. WHO IT IS FOR - Keeping a US number while living or travelling outside the country - Calling family and friends back home without a US SIM - Keeping your personal number private when you buy, sell or sign up for things - Running a separate line for work without carrying a second phone NO SIM CARD REQUIRED Everything works over Wi-Fi or mobile data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 2ndNumber at none against Talk & Text Hub's 7. 2ndNumber also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Talk & Text Hub's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
