# Web Browser SMS vs SMS from PC

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Web Browser SMS at 50% against SMS from PC's 0%. Web Browser SMS also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). SMS from PC's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Web Browser SMS sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 2 months and SMS from PC sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SMS from PC holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Web Browser SMS's written reviews are positive against 0% of SMS from PC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Web Browser SMS ships an update every 3 weeks, SMS from PC every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on August 19, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
