# SMSActivate.APP vs Private

The clearest difference is rating: SMSActivate.APP at 5.0 against Private's 4.4. Private's advantage is ratings volume (91 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMSActivate.APP sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Private sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SMSActivate.APP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private has 91 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
