Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SMSPool at none against TextVerified's shown. SMSPool also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 41%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). TextVerified's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (139 vs 16). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TextVerified sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and SMSPool sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TextVerified holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TextVerified has 139 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of TextVerified's written reviews are positive against 73% of SMSPool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TextVerified ships an update every 3 months, SMSPool weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
