# Temp Mail vs SMSPool

The clearest difference is rating: Temp Mail at 4.7 against SMSPool's 3.2. Temp Mail also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 16). SMSPool's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 17 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Temp Mail sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and SMSPool sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Temp Mail holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Temp Mail has 2K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Temp Mail's written reviews are positive against 73% of SMSPool's.

Temp Mail ships an update every 17 months, SMSPool every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
