SmsGupshup n vakow are two big sms fwding/chat services available on net…. although both the sites allow you to send a common sms to your friend list but after using both the services i can easily compare the two sevices…
Lets start with positive & negetive points of webaroo’s smsgupshup.com
plus points..
- picture msg can also be fwded
- normal chat is also possible so once joined u can easily chat free of cost
- more sms in gallery because of more users
- poll,quiz and reviews are some really good features becuase of them one can quiz its friends or can start a poll.
negative points…
- premium no so more charges to post and subscribe
- ads gets attached with fwded sms’s
- less control on subscriptions (u cant set limit of msges u want to get in a day or cant set time of day when you dont want to recieve any msg)
- website navigation not very good.
analysis of vakow.com
plus points…
- 10 digit no. so very esy to post n to subscribe (national msg are free or cheeper than premium no.)
- u can set a limit on no. of msg’s u want to recieve in a day n can also set a time span when u don’t want to receive any msg {u can sleep properly}.
- website design really comfortable
- no ads so looks like a personalized service
- can also scrap all ur orkut frens a common sms fwd.
update:-
- very fast now.. msg delievery is almost instantaniou…
- can be used as an sms blog.
- creatingan acc from mobile has also been made simple.
- use of tags really help when searching for a particular type of msg.
negative points… looks like all the negative points have been converted to positive points..
no picture msg supportvakow now allows you to send picture msg too…no personal msg allowed {a msg needs to have a score of more than +2 in order to get fwded to ur fren list} but as a matter of fact this also acts as a plus point for some ppl who just want to use this service to fwd n get fwded msg’s.you can now post any msg no minimum score required.
- simple sms fwd engine so no extra features like poll n quiz.
well this is my analysis if you find any more diff. just add it in the comments.

Hey Vaibhav,
Great comparison. Vakow! is a SMS Forwards site as against a group SMSing service and hence the differences.
Would like to point out some things that you have missed:
1. Tags (help organise SMSes in categories which could be subscribed to and searched)
2. Search (if you need a new year SMS just search on Vakow!)
3. Interactive features like comments and favorites
…basically we are more fun
cheers
