# Blue SMS client vs Call.com

The clearest difference is rating: Call.com at 4.6 against Blue SMS client's 2.0. Call.com also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (836 vs 1). Blue SMS client's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (67% vs 39%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Call.com sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Blue SMS client asks for nothing beyond the download.

Call.com holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Call.com has 836 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Blue SMS client's written reviews are positive against 39% of Call.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Blue SMS client ships an update every 13 months, Call.com every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
