# Virtual Number vs SMS Virtual

Virtual Number and SMS Virtual are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. Virtual Number sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and SMS Virtual sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
