Quick answer
How do SMS verification services differ?
The differences that matter most are when you are charged, what happens if no code arrives, which API the service speaks and how you can pay. TempSMSVerify freezes the price when you order, charges only when the SMS arrives, refunds automatically otherwise, and offers a REST API plus an SMS-Activate-compatible endpoint.
