The call

Group Text Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GroupSpeak holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GroupSpeak has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Group Text Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of GroupSpeak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Group Text Pro ships an update every 3 months, GroupSpeak every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
