# Verify vs SMS Code

The clearest difference is update cadence: SMS Code at fortnightly against Verify's monthly. Verify's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Verify sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and SMS Code sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Verify ships an update monthly, SMS Code fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
