# Relay vs SMSHook

The clearest difference is ads: SMSHook at none against Relay's shown. SMSHook also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Relay sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and SMSHook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
