# SMSCat vs 码上取

The clearest difference is rating: SMSCat at 4.4 against 码上取's 3.7. SMSCat also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (34 vs 3). 码上取's advantage is iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMSCat sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and 码上取 sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
