Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Multi Groups at none against Group Text's 7. Multi Groups also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 67%) and device support (3 vs 1). Group Text's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 78 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Group Text sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Multi Groups asks for nothing beyond the download.
Group Text holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Group Text has 232 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Multi Groups's written reviews are positive against 67% of Group Text's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Multi Groups ships an update every 78 months, Group Text every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
