readynum compared with 13 SMS verification services
Pre-launch — you can read everything, but ordering isn't open yet. Where we are
One page per service, each built the same way: five behaviours we can check, our side and theirs, with the date we read theirs from their own public pages.
Listed alphabetically. There is no ranking here and no “best” badge — several of these services do things we do not, and the individual pages say which.
The five behaviours every comparison checks
The same five on every page, so the pages are comparable with each other and not just with us. They are behaviours rather than features because a behaviour is something a reader can go and verify.
- Every displayed rate labelled by its source (measured / supplier / no data)
- Public prices before signup
- Minimum deposit never exceeds one order
- Auto-refund to wallet if no code (≤5 min)
- Numeric stock claims
A cell we could not verify on a competitor's public pages prints as a dash and says so. We never render an invented cross, and we never characterise a behaviour we did not see.

readynum vs 5sim
An established temporary-number service with public prices, guest API endpoints, and a per-operator delivery-rate table published over six time windows (read 2026-08-03).
readynum vs DaisySMS
A US-focused temporary-number service that shut down on March 26, 2026 — its homepage is now a "Going out of business" notice with a dated wind-down timeline, though its page title still reads "Reclaim Privacy With Real USA Numbers" (read 2026-08-03).
readynum vs Grizzly SMS
A virtual-number service operated by THREETWOTWO LTD (reg. No 14603753, London), with per-country prices and numeric stock counters rendered on its public pages, a published $3 minimum deposit, a published 20-minute refund-to-balance policy, and public API docs that state compatibility with the sms-activate format (read 2026-08-03).
readynum vs JuicySMS
A small verification service — their FAQ says they currently carry only +1, +44 and +31 numbers — that charges only when the SMS is delivered ("from €0.50", their homepage), rents private numbers by the month, and sets a $10.00 minimum recharge in its terms (read 2026-08-03).
readynum vs OnlineSIM
An operating virtual-number marketplace — one-time "15-minute" numbers and rentals behind a signup, a free public-numbers module, and headline claims of "1000+ SMS Receiving Services" and "110+ Countries for Numbers" (read 2026-08-03).
readynum vs quackr
A free receive-SMS site — shared public numbers, no account needed — that also rents private non-VoIP numbers by the week, month, half-year or year, with a published starting-price claim of "from as low as $0.10 per day" (read 2026-08-03).
readynum vs SMS-Activate
A ten-year incumbent that no longer operates: every path on its site serves a single farewell notice — service closed, withdrawals ended, technology handed to HeroSMS (read 2026-08-03).
readynum vs SMS-Man
An established activation service operated from Hong Kong (their footer: Pay-Man Global Limited), with homepage counters of 179 available countries and 1,049 available services, per-service prices rendered without login, a published $1 minimum deposit and rentals from 4 hours to 3 months (read 2026-08-03).

readynum vs SMSToMe
A free receive-SMS site — shared public numbers with nothing for sale anywhere on it — listing numbers from the UK, Netherlands, Poland, Finland, Belgium and Slovenia on its homepage grid, with messages deleted after 2–3 days and numbers rotating out after about a month (read 2026-08-03).
readynum vs TextVerified
A US-focused verification and rental service: "starting at" prices printed on the public homepage, a published refund FAQ, and — per its own FAQ — exclusively US-based non-VoIP numbers (read 2026-08-03).
readynum vs Tiger SMS
An established SMS-activation service at tiger-sms.com — one code per purchased number, paid from a prepaid balance — with per-country USD prices rendered publicly on its service pages, API docs readable without an account, and homepage claims of "260+ countries" and "200+ Internet services" (read 2026-08-03).
What these pages deliberately do not compare
Delivery success. We have not measured a route of our own yet — ordering isn't open, so no order exists — and putting our unmeasured routes next to somebody else's published figure would be the exact comparison these pages are built to expose.
Our own register of what we have measured is public: success rates, route by route. It is currently empty, it says why, and it will fill one route at a time.
Questions
How is each comparison put together?
Our column states behaviours the product enforces — each one is a rule in the build, not a marketing line. Their column contains only what we read ourselves on their public pages, with the date we read it.
Anything we did not verify renders as a dash and is labelled unverified. There is no invented cross anywhere on these pages: a blank means we did not check, never that they failed.
Are these pages fair to the other service?
Every comparison names what that service genuinely does well, dated and checkable, and includes a section on when it might suit you better than us. Where a competitor publishes something we do not, we say so plainly rather than leaving it out.
We are not a neutral party and the pages say that too. The remedy is that every factual claim on them is verifiable by a third party on the competitor's own site.
Do you compare success rates?
No — and we could not do it honestly, because we have not measured a single route of our own yet. Ordering is not open, so no order exists to measure.
So the comparison is about behaviour instead: whether a displayed rate carries its source, whether prices are public before signup, whether the minimum deposit can exceed one order, what happens when no code arrives, and whether stock is claimed as a count. Our own register of what we have measured is public and currently empty.
