ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Salesmsg holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Salesmsg has 1.6K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Text Request's written reviews are positive against 53% of Salesmsg's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Text Request ships an update fortnightly, Salesmsg every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
