Why does it cost to upgrade?
While the app may appear to do a simple job, building and maintaining it is a significant ongoing effort. With countless device models and a wide range of messaging apps, we continuously invest in development, testing, and improvements to keep everything working reliably. The upgrade fee helps fund that work and unlocks the app’s full feature set.
We also take customer support seriously. Our dedicated support team responds throughout the day, and we use professional support tools to make sure you can get help quickly and easily when you need it.
Even with these ongoing costs, our pricing remains lower than many comparable apps.
What is the purpose of the trial version?
The trial version is designed to help you explore how the app works and preview the output before purchasing. It lets you create backups with a limited number of messages, so you can confidently evaluate the app’s features and results.
After upgrading, the app should work the same way—just without the trial limitations. If anything doesn’t behave as expected, our support team is ready to help troubleshoot. If needed, we can also assist with a refund.
Other Free Features:
Restoring a backup file
Sharing a short conversation on social media
SMS Backup & Restore: Pro Version Benefits
The Pro version of SMS Backup & Restore transforms a complex maintenance project into a seamless, high-capacity tool for preserving your digital history. While the free version allows for full functionality on shorter conversations, it limits you to sharing only six messages at a time and includes advertisements. Upgrading to Pro removes these restrictions, allowing you to export all messages in a single go and providing a cleaner experience by removing ads and the footer watermark from your backups. Most importantly, the Pro version offers robust automation and security; it enables unlimited automatic scheduled backups—on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis—to both local storage and cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. By paying the symbolic fee to unlock these features, you directly support the constant development and improvements required to keep the app compatible across the ever-changing landscape of mobile devices and texting apps.
Transparency About the Upgrade!
We work hard to be transparent about the paid upgrade required to unlock the app’s full functionality.
