# Group Text Pro vs Group SMS

The clearest difference is price: Group SMS at Free against Group Text Pro's $48.99. Group SMS also leads on rating (3.0 vs 1.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Group Text Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (55% vs 25%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Group SMS is free to download; Group Text Pro costs $48.99 up front. Group SMS sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Group Text Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

Group SMS holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Group Text Pro's written reviews are positive against 25% of Group SMS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Group Text Pro ships an update every 3 months, Group SMS fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
