# Group SMS Lite vs Mass Text Message

The clearest difference is rating: Mass Text Message at 3.8 against Group SMS Lite's 1.0. Mass Text Message also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1). Group SMS Lite's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Group SMS Lite sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Mass Text Message sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mass Text Message holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mass Text Message has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Group SMS Lite's written reviews are positive against 0% of Mass Text Message's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Group SMS Lite ships an update every 6 weeks, Mass Text Message every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
