Verdict

The call

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.

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
