SMSPVA alternative
SMSPVA has been selling verification numbers for over a decade. SMS Nitro is newer and built around two things it does differently: delivery-only billing and success rates in the open.
Is SMS Nitro a replacement for SMSPVA?
For most apps and countries, yes. SMS Nitro charges only when the SMS arrives, shows the recent success rate per country, covers 180+ countries against SMSPVA's 60+, and keeps an SMS-Activate-compatible API. SMSPVA's advantage is longevity; the catalog overlap is large.
What SMSPVA is
One of the oldest number marketplaces, operating since 2014, with 60+ countries, activations and rentals, and a REST API used by registration software.
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 SMSPVA to SMS Nitro
Create an account, top up from $5 and compare the prices of the apps you use most. If you used SMSPVA 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the same scripts?
If they use the SMS-Activate protocol, yes. Scripts written for SMSPVA's own API need the base URL and method names adjusted.
