SMSPVA rents numbers per service and per day, $1.50 a day for its US "Other" service (about $45 for 30 days), and its May 2026 AML policy requires an ID and liveness check for card payments. KeepANumber rents US numbers at $13.50 for 30 days, crypto only, with no ID upload. Checked 18 October 2026.

Where SMSPVA is the better choice
For a short rental tied to one cheap service, such as $0.20 a day for Apple or Microsoft in the US, or if you want to pay by card and accept its identity check. Its auto-renew adds 7 days, two days before expiry.
Where KeepANumber fits better
For a number that is not limited to one service, paid in crypto with no identity check, with a fixed price for the whole period and no extension window to watch. If you pay by card elsewhere, expect an identity check; here there is no card option and no check.
