Grizzly SMS is an established, widely-used SMS verification marketplace with broad country and service coverage, a referral/bonus system, and its own Telegram bot. It's a reasonable default for most people. Here's where sms-florin differs, honestly rather than as a sales pitch.
Coverage
Grizzly SMS covers many more countries and services than sms-florin does today. sms-florin currently offers only real UK numbers (EE and Three) for around 20 major services. If you need a country other than the UK, Grizzly SMS (or a similarly broad marketplace) is the practical choice right now.
Pricing model
Grizzly SMS runs bonus tiers and referral incentives on top of its base pricing. sms-florin keeps pricing flat and simple — pay-as-you-go per rental, no bonus balance that behaves differently from real deposited money, no referral-driven discounts to track.
Automatic refunds
sms-florin automatically refunds an instant rental if no SMS arrives before expiry, with no support ticket required. Worth checking directly against Grizzly SMS's own refund process if that matters to your use case, since policies like this vary between providers and can change.
Bottom line
If breadth of country/service coverage matters most, Grizzly SMS's larger catalog covers more ground today. If you specifically need a UK number on a real carrier network with a flat price and an automatic refund guarantee, sms-florin is a narrower but more predictable option for that specific case.
