Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AnyMessage at 5.0 against Iris's 4.2. AnyMessage also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Iris's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AnyMessage sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and Iris sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AnyMessage holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Iris has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
AnyMessage ships an update fortnightly, Iris every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
