Noir SMS vs DaisySMS
Low price is the first thing people mention about DaisySMS, and cheap numbers do matter when you buy many. But price is only one input: a number that costs a few cents less and never receives the code costs more in the end. This page compares what each service gives you around the price.
Quick answer
DaisySMS is popular for cheap US verification numbers. Noir SMS also sells US numbers and gives you the rest of the world on the same balance: Canada, the UK and 190+ countries, with an automatic refund if no SMS arrives and a bonus on bigger top-ups. If you only buy US numbers and price is your single filter, compare live prices. If you want a broader catalogue and clear instructions in your language, Noir SMS fits better.
Side by side
Price is not the whole cost
A verification number that never receives the SMS is wasted time even if you get a refund. When you compare services, look at what happens on failure: how long until the refund, whether you can cancel early, and whether the service tells you which country tends to work for your app. Noir SMS allows a manual cancel after 2 minutes and refunds automatically at 20.
Seeing the price first
On Noir SMS every service page shows the current price and stock for each country, so you can see that, for example, Discord in the US costs less than WhatsApp in the US before you register or top up. You do not have to log in to compare.
Bonus for volume buyers
If you buy often, the top-up bonus matters more than a one-cent price difference. Noir SMS adds +5% from $20, +10% from $50 and +15% from $100, so a $100 top-up buys the value of $115.

Verdict
For a one-off US code, compare the two live prices and take the cheaper. For regular buying, more countries, translated help and a bonus on bigger top-ups, Noir SMS is the more flexible choice.
