# Temp Mail vs SMSPool

The clearest difference is rating: Temp Mail at 4.7 against SMSPool's 3.2. Temp Mail also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 16). SMSPool's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Temp Mail sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and SMSPool sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Temp Mail holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Temp Mail has 2.5K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Temp Mail's written reviews are positive against 73% of SMSPool's.

Temp Mail ships an update every 2 months, SMSPool every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
