SMS to Email Forwarder's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Microsoft 365 Admin holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft 365 Admin has 5.8K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Microsoft 365 Admin's written reviews are positive against 100% of SMS to Email Forwarder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Microsoft 365 Admin ships an update every 6 weeks, SMS to Email Forwarder weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
