Quick answer

Second-number apps range from ad-supported free service to monthly or annual subscriptions. Carrier add-on lines generally cost more because they may include cellular data and native mobile service. Always compare the renewal price and included usage.

There is no single category price because products offer different things. A disposable SMS number, a regular calling and texting line, and a complete carrier eSIM should not be compared as if they were identical.

The main pricing models

Ad-supported free

You may receive a free number and basic communication in exchange for ads. Number retention, verification codes, and premium features may cost extra.

Subscription

A weekly, monthly, or annual subscription can include the number plus a defined amount of calling and texting. Check whether credits, international usage, and additional numbers are separate purchases.

Pay as you go

You buy credits only when needed. This can work for occasional use, but calculate the cost of your normal month rather than the smallest advertised package.

Carrier line or eSIM

This is another mobile service and may include data, taxes, activation charges, and carrier fees. It can cost more but offers native cellular features.

HashPhone pricing

HashPhone is free to download and may offer a free trial or introductory promotion. The actual price depends on your region, storefront, eligibility, and active offer. Review the purchase screen before subscribing.

Calculate value, not only price

A stable number for freelance clients may be worth more than a free number that expires after inactivity. A short-term number may not justify a long contract. Match the billing model to how long you need the line and what losing it would cost you.
