SlickText vs Text-Em-All (2026): which should you pick?

Pick SlickText if

• Fits if you want to grow a text list with website popups and landing pages
• Works for nonprofits, with 20% off any standard plan

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you text customers outside the US and Canada
• Pricey if you want RCS, at $500 to set up and $200 a year
• Tight if you bank credits, as unused ones roll over for one billing term only
• Watch out: there's no automatic overage charge, so running low on credits means upgrading your plan
• Skip it if your customers chat on WhatsApp or Instagram, as it's texting only

Pick Text-Em-All if

• Fits if you send announcements to a school, church or clinic list
• Works for groups that prefer buying credits to a subscription

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you have more than 50 contacts: $99 a month for 300
• Watch out: the Monthly plan caps texts at 320 characters, and images cost 5 cents each
• Skip it if you want broadcasts from your phone: they are sent from the web
• Watch out: keywords and auto-replies are limited on Monthly

SlickText

• Works only for messaging in the United States and Canada.
• Carriers add a small fee per message, passed through without markup; there is no automatic overage charge, so you upgrade when credits run low.
• RCS costs a $500 one-time setup fee and $200 a year in maintenance.
• Unused credits roll over for one billing term only: one month on monthly plans, one year on annual plans.

Text-Em-All

• The Monthly plan caps texts at 320 characters; images and longer texts cost 5¢ per recipient.
• Repeating broadcasts, keywords, auto-replies and drip campaigns are limited or credits-only; Monthly has reduced features.
• Monthly suits about 3 to 5 texts a week per contact; heavier senders are steered toward credits.
• The mobile app only manages replies; broadcasts are created and sent from the web account.
