# BulkSMS Text Messenger vs SendHype

The clearest difference is rating: SendHype at 4.6 against BulkSMS Text Messenger's 1.5. SendHype also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 21%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). BulkSMS Text Messenger's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BulkSMS Text Messenger sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and SendHype sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
