# Fwrd vs SMS Forwarder

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: SMS Forwarder at 18.0 against Fwrd's 26.2. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fwrd sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and SMS Forwarder sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
