SimpleTexting review

SimpleTexting is a general business texting service that works well for shops, restaurants and franchises that want to send offers without wiring up store data. Every plan includes mass texting, two-way messaging, auto-replies, drip campaigns, MMS, an AI message generator, API access, unlimited contacts, unlimited text-to-join keywords, opt-in forms and pop-ups. The entry plan costs $29 a month for 500 credits with extra credits at 5.5 cents, and a local number adds $10 a month plus a $4 activation fee. Annual billing saves 20% and gives seasonal businesses their credits upfront. Monthly plans roll unused credits over to the next month, incoming SMS is free, and nonprofits get 15% off. Three users are included, with extra seats at $20 a month. Integrations cover Mailchimp and Zapier rather than direct ecommerce connections, so cart and order texts need extra setup. SimpleTexting says it has more than 17,000 paying customers.
