# SMSPool alternative

SMSPool organizes numbers in pools by quality and price. SMS Nitro takes a different route: one catalog, success rate per country, and billing that only happens on delivery.

## SMSPool vs SMS Nitro: what changes?

SMSPool asks you to choose a pool; SMS Nitro shows the recent success rate for each country and freezes the price until the SMS arrives. Both have rentals and an API. SMS Nitro's SMS-Activate-compatible endpoint also fits tools that SMSPool's own API does not.

## What SMSPool is

A marketplace with pooled numbers, rentals, crypto payments, an API and an active community.

## 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 SMSPool to SMS Nitro

Create an account, top up from $5 and compare the prices of the apps you use most. If you used SMSPool 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.
