They can work together
Some people use a privacy suite for sign-ups and inboxes and a second-number app for the numbers they talk on. If your main worry is your email and data being sold, Cloaked covers more ground. If your main need is a working line for dating, selling or a side business, Ghost does that job better.
Frequently asked questions
Is Cloaked a second phone number app?
Partly. Cloaked includes phone aliases as one part of a wider privacy suite. Ghost is built only around second numbers you call and text from.
Which is cheaper, Ghost or Cloaked?
Cloaked's individual plan is $119.99 a year or $14.99 a month. Ghost is $60 every 2 months, which works out to $360 a year, and includes up to 5 numbers with calls and texts.
Can I use Ghost for verification codes?
Often. Many services accept Ghost numbers, but some banks and apps block app-based numbers for signup codes. The same applies to Cloaked's phone aliases.
