# Mini Text vs SMS Verification

The clearest difference is rating: SMS Verification at 4.8 against Mini Text's 2.0. SMS Verification also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Mini Text's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mini Text sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and SMS Verification sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
