MySudo — summary
MySudo is a useful compartmentalization product (one app, many disposable numbers and emails) but it is not no-KYC — Apple/Google billing binds the user.
- + Polished UX for managing multiple identities (numbers, emails, payment cards) from one app.
- − Operator binds payment via Apple/Google billing; you are very much identified.
- − The "Sudo" identity model is about compartmentalization within services *to other parties*, not anonymity from MySudo itself.
- − Not appropriate when the threat model includes a U.S. operator with subpoena reachability.
Silent.link — summary
Silent.
- + No signup at all — purchase produces an eSIM activation code on the page.
- + Crypto + Lightning payment is the only option, by design.
- + Global roaming data; supports many countries with mobile data and incoming SMS on the included number.
- − Data-only with limited inbound voice/SMS depending on package; outbound calling typically unavailable.
- − eSIM-capable device required.
- − Operator transparency is intentionally low.
