# SMSCat vs Poplet Share

The clearest difference is rating: SMSCat at 4.4 against Poplet Share's 3.7. SMSCat also leads on ratings volume (34 vs 6). Poplet Share's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (60% vs 33%). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMSCat sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Poplet Share asks for nothing beyond the download.

SMSCat holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SMSCat has 34 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of SMSCat's written reviews are positive against 60% of Poplet Share's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SMSCat ships an update every 8 days, Poplet Share every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
