# Virtual SMS vs 短信云

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Virtual SMS at 12.0 against 短信云's 15.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Virtual SMS sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 短信云 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
