Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PatrolOps at 100% against Text Number's 39%. PatrolOps also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Text Number's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 10) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Text Number sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and PatrolOps sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PatrolOps holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Number has 12K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Text Number's written reviews are positive against 100% of PatrolOps's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
