Anonymous message apps all look alike from the outside. These pages compare them honestly, with dated facts and sources, and say nothing about others that isn't on record.

A Sarahah alternative, without the crueltyWhat happened to Sarahah, what to check in any alternative (moderation before delivery, no fake messages, no paid sender reveals), and an honest comparison with Sea Messages.
An NGL alternative, in Arabic and freeLooking for an NGL alternative? What the FTC alleged about NGL's messages and its "see who sent it" upgrade, and how Sea Messages works instead: free, moderated, no fakes.

What matters when you compare?

Four questions are enough: are messages checked before they reach you, is every message from a real person, can anyone pay to find out the sender, and do block and report work on anonymous senders? On Sea Messages: yes, yes, no, yes.
