DUO alternatives

DUO is on iMessage and SMS, and to start you text a number. These 8 agents do a similar job. Each row says what the two have in common and the one thing that changes if you switch.

Ordered by how much ground they share with DUO: same job first, then the same things it can do, then the same places you can reach it. Not a ranking of quality, which we have not measured.

Still want DUO

Nothing here is a recommendation to switch. DUO may be the right one, and this page exists because “alternatives” is how people actually search when they are still deciding.

The full DUO listing records how you start, what it costs, what it states it can do, and what its policy says about your messages.
