# Teleporti vs SMS Forwarder

Teleporti and SMS Forwarder both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of Teleporti's written reviews are positive against 30% of SMS Forwarder's. Teleporti also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). SMS Forwarder's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (45 vs 7). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Teleporti sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and SMS Forwarder sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Teleporti against 4.4 for SMS Forwarder. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SMS Forwarder has 45 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Teleporti's written reviews are positive against 30% of SMS Forwarder's.

Teleporti ships an update every 6 months, SMS Forwarder every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
