# Receive SMS vs SMSKey

The clearest difference is device support: SMSKey at 3 against Receive SMS's 1. SMSKey also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Receive SMS sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and SMSKey sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
