# Virtual SMS vs SMS Virtual

The clearest difference is device support: Virtual SMS at 3 against SMS Virtual's 1. Virtual SMS also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Virtual SMS sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and SMS Virtual sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
