Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 2 of the 14 other SMS and chat marketing tools we grade
EZ Texting is a text marketing platform for businesses in the United States and Canada. It sends mass and one-to-one texts, builds lists through keywords, QR codes and sign-up forms, and runs drip campaigns and keyword auto-replies, with a team inbox and AI writing help. Plans differ mainly in the number type and the price of extra credits, and each includes 500 credits a month.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about EZ Texting, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1

The report card
Best for text marketing for US and Canadian businesses
EZ Texting, around since 2004, does text marketing for the US and Canada: mass and one-to-one texts, keywords, QR codes, sign-up forms, drip campaigns and a team inbox, plus RCS. Launch is $20 a month billed yearly, but it only includes 500 credits, so texting 1,000 customers costs more like $45.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Launch is $20 a month billed yearly with 500 credits. Texting 1,000 customers needs 500 more at $0.04 each ($20), and Launch adds a $5 telecom fee, so about $45 a month. EZ Texting itself points lists over 500 to Boost at $60. Ordinary for this category. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, just a 14-day free trial of Launch. Fine for a test campaign, then you're paying. |
| Features | C | The texting job done fully: keywords, QR codes, sign-up forms, mass and one-to-one texts, drip campaigns, a team inbox, text-to-pay links and RCS. But texting is one channel of this category, and it only works in the US and Canada. |
| Ease of use | C | No App Store rating on record. Keywords and campaigns are simple enough, but there's a number to set up and a credit count to watch, since an MMS uses 3 credits. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with Zapier, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Constant Contact and an open API on every plan. Texts only reach the US and Canada, and there's no desktop app, which an A needs. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who EZ Texting is for
- Great if you're a small US or Canadian business starting out with text marketing
- Handy when you collect sign-ups with keywords and QR codes on posters or receipts
- Good for nonprofits texting supporters with donation links
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you have customers outside the US and Canada
- Pricey if several people need logins, as each plan includes 1 user and extra seats are $10 a month
- Tight if you send picture messages, as each MMS uses 3 of your 500 credits
Good to know
Good for
- Small businesses in the US and Canada starting with text marketing
- Organizations texting supporters with donation links
- Teams that want keyword and QR code sign-ups without a developer
Worth knowing
- Plan credits cover 500 texts a month: an SMS uses 1 credit and an MMS 3. Extra credits cost $0.04 on Launch down to $0.03 on Scale.
- Each plan includes one user; extra seats cost $10 a month each, and extra numbers carry their own fee.
- Works only in the United States and Canada.
- Launch adds a $5 monthly telecom fee, waived on higher plans; the FAQ says other carrier fees on 10-digit numbers are included in the plan.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace EZ Texting you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 6 of the 14 other SMS and chat marketing tools grade higher. It costs $240 a year.
What you could make
- QR codes: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Zapier, HubSpot and Mailchimp among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. EZ Texting’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
