# Shark SMS vs 拦截猫

The clearest difference is rating: Shark SMS at 5.0 against 拦截猫's 3.9. Shark SMS also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 拦截猫's advantage is ratings volume (105 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shark SMS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and 拦截猫 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shark SMS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 拦截猫 has 105 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Shark SMS's written reviews are positive against 84% of 拦截猫's.
