# TextVerified vs SMSPool

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.

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.

TextVerified ships an update every 3 months, SMSPool weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
