# Text vs Uptime Kuma Manager

The clearest difference is rating: Uptime Kuma Manager at 4.3 against Text's 1.4. Uptime Kuma Manager also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (43 vs 5). Text's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.2). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Uptime Kuma Manager sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Text asks for nothing beyond the download.

Uptime Kuma Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Uptime Kuma Manager has 43 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Text's written reviews are positive against 70% of Uptime Kuma Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Text ships an update every 2 months, Uptime Kuma Manager every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
