# Get SMS Code vs SimCode

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SimCode at 87% against Get SMS Code's 20%. SimCode also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Get SMS Code's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 208). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Get SMS Code sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and SimCode sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SimCode holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Get SMS Code has 2.8K ratings behind it against 208, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Get SMS Code's written reviews are positive against 87% of SimCode's.

Get SMS Code ships an update every 5 weeks, SimCode every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
