SimpleTexting vs Textmunication (2026): which should you pick?

Pick SimpleTexting if

• Fits if you're a small US business sending promotions and reminders by text
• Works for churches and nonprofits, with 15% off monthly plans

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if your customers are on WhatsApp or Instagram rather than plain texts
• Pricey if your team is big, as each user past 3 costs $20 a month
• Tight if you downgrade, as rolled-over credits are lost when you do
• Watch out: a local number adds $10 a month and $4 to register, and carriers add about $0.0025 per US text
• Pricey if you want a dedicated short code, from $1,000 a month with 6 to 8 weeks to set up

Pick Textmunication if

• Fits if you want a flat set of features and just choose a message allowance
• Works for restaurants and gyms that run keyword campaigns

• Pricey if you want a short code: $1,800 to set up and $750 a month
• Watch out: MMS costs more, and the page lists no MMS rate
