# MySurrey vs Text & Call

The clearest difference is rating: Text & Call at 3.8 against MySurrey's 1.0. Text & Call also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (263 vs 2). MySurrey's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and review sentiment (31% vs 15%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text & Call sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. MySurrey asks for nothing beyond the download.

Text & Call holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text & Call has 263 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of MySurrey's written reviews are positive against 15% of Text & Call's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MySurrey ships an update every 7 months, Text & Call fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 23, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
