# SMS vs SafeLine

The clearest difference is update cadence: SMS at monthly against SafeLine's every 3 months. SMS also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMS sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and SafeLine sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SMS ships an update monthly, SafeLine every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
