Quackr alternatives for a number only you can read

Quackr’s free and paid numbers, and why people switch

Quackr’s free numbers are shared and public, and its paid numbers are private. Its pricing page says anyone can read the messages on a free number, and adds that “shared numbers are often blocked”. Because the same number is shown to everyone, someone may already have used it on the app you are signing up for, and the code you need is visible to whoever opens the page next. Quackr’s FAQ says its free numbers are VoIP and are rotated at least every 30 days, so an account tied to one can’t count on it later. Our guide on whether free receive-SMS sites are safe explains what that exposes.

Quackr’s own paid number is private, and Quackr does several things that some or all of the options below don’t:

• Paid numbers in 15 to 23 countries (its pages give different counts), and free ones in 24+.
• PayPal and cryptocurrency as well as cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
• A 6-month plan ($59.99 for a US number), and an app number for a single app from $4.10 a month.
• 48 hours to report a number that receives nothing. Quackr tries up to two replacements, then refunds.
• An MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and other agents can buy and read a number.

What it doesn’t offer in the US is a rental shorter than a week, or a price under $12.99 for that week.

Five alternatives to Quackr

Prices are as each site showed them on November 13, 2026. Line types are each provider’s own claim, except ours.

1. VerifyWith

   $3.99 for 1 day to $34.99 for 1 year

   A private US number for every app, from a day to a year

   Quackr’s US private number is $12.99 for a week, $15.99 for a month and $99.99 for 12 months. Ours is $7.99, $12.99 and $34.99 for those lengths, and a single day is $3.99. It is a non-VoIP US number that only you can rent while you have it, and every text sent to it arrives, from any sender. The price is held on your card, not taken, until the first text comes in or 24 hours pass.

   Head to head: VerifyWith vs Quackr.

   The catch: US numbers only, no free tier, no PayPal or crypto. It receives texts only, so a code sent by voice call won’t arrive. If the code never comes, cancel within 24 hours.

2. TextVerified

   Google rental $1.40 for 1 day, $30.00 for 1 year (US)

   A private US number for one named app, for less

   TextVerified rents a number per service. Its Google rental runs from $1.40 for a day to $3.00 for 30 days and $30.00 for a year; WhatsApp costs more, $1.90 for a day to $48.00 for a year. It also sells a single US code for $0.75 (Google or Telegram), and codes by voice call, which Quackr’s numbers can’t receive. It says its numbers are US mobile numbers on physical SIMs, not VoIP.

   The catch: Each rental is sold for one service, and its pages don’t say whether other apps’ texts arrive. US only. You buy credits before you buy a number.

3. 1001SMS

   Shown after you pick a service

   A private rental outside the US, paid by card

   1001SMS rents numbers in 18 countries for anything from 12 hours to 12 months, and says “an unlimited rental takes SMS from any app”. Renewing keeps the same number. It takes Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay and crypto, and has an API and an MCP server. A rental that has received nothing can be cancelled within 120 minutes for a full refund.

   The catch: Money goes into a USD balance first, and prices aren’t shown until you choose a service. The 120-minute cancel window is far shorter than Quackr’s 48 hours.

4. VirtualSMS

   Rentals from $0.25/day, for 1, 3, 7 or 30 days

   A short rental in many countries, if you pay in crypto

   VirtualSMS rents numbers it calls dedicated, by the day, in 145+ countries, and says they are real carrier SIM numbers, not VoIP. If no code arrives it refunds automatically. Like Quackr, it has an MCP server, which it says works with Claude, Cursor and Codex.

   The catch: No card payments: it takes cryptocurrency and SBP Russian bank transfers only. Rentals stop at 30 days.

5. SMSPool

   US Google/Gmail 0.48 to 0.85 per order

   One code, once, in one of 150+ countries

   If the free number failed and you will never need the account’s number again, one paid code costs less than any rental. SMSPool’s price tool showed 0.48 to 0.85 for a US Google/Gmail code, with no currency symbol (its deposit box is in US dollars), and it shows a success rate for each service before you buy. It says it never sells a number twice for the same service.

   The catch: The number lasts from 20 minutes to a few days, so a sign-in code next month won’t reach you. You top up a balance first, and failed orders are refunded to that balance.

Which one to pick after Quackr

Start from how long the account will need the number.

• One code, never again. A per-code service such as SMSPool costs least. A rental from us or anyone else is more than you need.
• An account you’ll sign in to again. Rent for as long as you keep the account, because a new device or a password reset sends the code to the number again. See what happens when a temporary number expires.
• Several apps on one US number. VerifyWith or Quackr’s private number. The differences are price, a one-day option (ours), and PayPal, crypto and 6-month plans (Quackr’s).
• One app only. TextVerified’s per-service rentals, or Quackr’s app number from $4.10 a month.
• A country other than the US. Quackr’s private number, 1001SMS or VirtualSMS. We don’t fit: our numbers are US only.

If an AI agent will use the number, Quackr, 1001SMS, VirtualSMS and VerifyWith all have MCP servers. Quackr’s agents pay from a prepaid balance; ours buy with the owner’s saved card inside limits the owner sets. Our MCP server guide has the setup.

Questions people ask
