Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: International SMS at 2.0 against Private Text Message's 1.4. Private Text Message's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. International SMS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Private Text Message sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
International SMS holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Text Message has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 11% of International SMS's written reviews are positive against 6% of Private Text Message's.
