DaisySMS alternative
DaisySMS was a small, US-centric service with a simple catalog and an SMS-Activate-style API. It announced its closure in February 2026 and shut down on 26 March 2026, leaving its users looking for US numbers elsewhere.
Is DaisySMS still working?
No. DaisySMS shut down on 26 March 2026. SMS Nitro covers what it did (US numbers from real carriers, pay per delivered code, an SMS-Activate-style API) and adds 180+ other countries, rentals and success rates per country. Scripts written for DaisySMS's API usually need only a new base URL and key.
What DaisySMS was
A US-focused number service with real carrier numbers, dynamic pricing, an SMS-Activate-compatible API and a reputation for ease of use. It stopped operating on 26 March 2026.
What SMS Nitro does differently
- Private numbers only, never shared inboxes.
- Price frozen at purchase, charged only when the SMS arrives; the number is reserved for 20 minutes.
- Live price and recent success rate per app and country before you confirm.
- Card and crypto top-ups from $5, balance that never expires, no subscription.
- REST API plus an SMS-Activate-compatible endpoint, so existing tools migrate by changing the key.
- Catalog written in each language from scratch, with a legal entity, refund policy and support behind it.
Moving from DaisySMS to SMS Nitro
Create an account, top up from $5 and compare the prices of the apps you use most. If you used DaisySMS through its API, the SMS-Activate-compatible endpoint lets most scripts run unchanged after you swap the base URL and the key. Numbers that receive no SMS are never charged, so testing a new provider costs nothing when it fails.
What to move to
Take the US physical-SIM pool on SMS Nitro for the apps you verified on DaisySMS (Google, Discord, TikTok, Instagram and the like); it passes the same carrier checks. Point your tooling at the SMS-Activate-compatible endpoint and keep the rest of your workflow.
