About SimpleTexting

SimpleTexting is a business SMS and MMS platform for marketing campaigns, appointment reminders, outreach and two-way customer conversations. Teams can import permissioned contacts, collect new subscribers using keywords and signup forms, segment lists, schedule broadcasts and handle replies in a shared inbox. It also offers autoresponder sequences, analytics, an AI writing assistant, API access and integrations such as Mailchimp and Zapier. The current official USD price configurator starts at $29 monthly for 500 messaging credits plus the chosen phone-number charge. Its default local-number setup is $10 per month plus a $4 one-time activation fee, making the sample recurring bill $39/month before carrier surcharges or overages. Extra messaging credits are shown at 5.5 cents each in the default configuration; outbound SMS uses one credit per recipient and MMS three. Incoming plain-text replies are free, while incoming media costs one credit. The plan includes three users, with extra users at $20/month, and users can select a toll-free number with no extra monthly number fee subject to verification. Monthly unused credits roll over for one additional month. SimpleTexting markets a 14-day free trial. G2's exact product has 4.7/5 from 651 reviews. Capterra's review section reports 4.6/5 across 248, while an older overview snapshot lists 4.7/5 from 249; these differing snapshots are retained as a research discrepancy.

Pros

Mass SMS/MMS campaigns and two-way conversations run in one interface with scheduled and triggered outreach.

Monthly plans roll over unused credits for one additional cycle.
651 G2 reviewers rate the matched product 4.7/5, with recurring praise for ease of use and support.

Cons

−The minimum displayed $39 monthly local-number configuration is higher than the $29 messaging-only amount; number and carrier costs are separate.
−A long SMS may use two credits, an outgoing MMS uses three and a media reply consumes another credit.
−The service requires proper opt-in and US carrier registration; approval delays can affect launch plans.
−Local numbers carry $10/month plus $4 activation and dedicated short codes begin at around $1,000/month.
−Extra users are $20/month each and overages are listed at 5.5 cents per credit for the default entry selection.
−G2 users sometimes report message delays or cost concerns; these are feedback reports, not reproduced deliverability tests.
