Textmagic review

Textmagic suits businesses that text in bursts rather than every week. There is no subscription: outbound SMS costs $0.049 per 160-character message, MMS costs $0.08, and inbound SMS is free. A local or toll-free number costs $10 a month after a free first month. If you already have a Twilio, Vonage, Sinch or Bandwidth account, Textmagic can send through it for $0.01 per SMS. Compliance help is a strength: guided 10DLC and toll-free registration with AI checks, automatic STOP and HELP handling, TCPA-ready consent forms and setups for the UK, Canada, Australia and Europe. The platform also handles email campaigns, with the first 10,000 emails free, and a shared inbox for SMS, live chat and social channels. It is less suited to ecommerce brands, since it lacks native store flows like cart recovery, and at steady volume the per-message price costs more than a bundled plan.
