# SMS Virtual vs SMS Code

The clearest difference is device support: SMS Code at 3 against SMS Virtual's 1. SMS Code also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMS Virtual sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and SMS Code sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
