# Group RCS SMS and Email vs Group SMS Personalized texting

The clearest difference is rating: Group RCS SMS and Email at 4.5 against Group SMS Personalized texting's 2.8. Group RCS SMS and Email also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 4). Group SMS Personalized texting's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Group RCS SMS and Email sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Group SMS Personalized texting sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Group RCS SMS and Email holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Group RCS SMS and Email has 1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Group RCS SMS and Email's written reviews are positive against 32% of Group SMS Personalized texting's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Group RCS SMS and Email ships an update every 2 months, Group SMS Personalized texting fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
