Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 7 of the 31 other SMS and chat marketing tools we grade
Heymarket is a business messaging platform where teams send and receive texts and emails from a shared inbox. It also covers list broadcasts, campaigns, automations, RCS messages, AI agents and an API, and can text-enable an existing business number.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Heymarket, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Message credits are billed on top, so the bill is bigger than the plan price.
- 1
Best for a shared texting inbox for teams
Heymarket gives a team one inbox for customer texts and emails.
- 2
Paid plans start at $49 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $49 per user / month, billed annually.
- 3
You can try it first
Free trial, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Shared inbox
Texts and emails from many users, teams and channels land in one inbox that teammates can read and answer from desktop or their phones.
- 6
Broadcasts and campaigns
Personalized mass texts go to lists, and campaigns send a series of messages to them. Both start on the Plus plan.
- 7
Automations
Rules reply, assign chats or enroll contacts in a campaign based on keywords, timing or message sentiment.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 7 of 31
That is against the other SMS and chat marketing tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Heymarket 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.

The report card
Best for a shared texting inbox for teams
Heymarket gives a team one inbox for customer texts and emails. The catch is the price: $49 a person a month with a 2-user minimum, and campaigns and automations only start on Plus at $99. Message credits are billed on top, so the bill is bigger than the plan price.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $49 a person a month on yearly billing, with a 2-user minimum, so the floor is $98. Campaigns and automations need Plus at $99 a person. The category's dearer quarter starts at $49. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free trial with no credit card, but no free plan. You get a taste, then you pay. |
| Features | C | Shared inbox, broadcasts, automations and AI agents. But lists, campaigns and group messaging are missing from Standard, and API access needs Pro at $199. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It's a web app with an inbox, templates, integrations and a number to text-enable, so there is setup to do. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web inbox that teammates can also reach from their phones, plus Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Zendesk and Zapier. No desktop app on record. |
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 Heymarket is for
- Fits if a small team answers customer texts from one shared inbox
- Works for teams already living in HubSpot or Salesforce
Who it is not for
- Tight if you're solo: every plan has a 2-user minimum
- Pricey if you need campaigns or automations, which start at $99 a person
- Watch out: messages cost extra, $0.03 a credit, plus $10 a month per campaign for registration
- Skip it if you need the API, which sits on Pro at $199 a person
Good to know
Good for
- Support, sales and recruiting teams that talk to customers by text
- Clinics and dispatch teams that need appointment and update texts
- Teams already on HubSpot or Salesforce
Worth knowing
- Messages are billed separately in credits: the page shows $0.03 per credit and one SMS segment is 1 credit, MMS 2 and RCS rich media 3.
- Prices shown are billed annually with a 2-user minimum; the page says monthly billing is available but does not show its price.
- Group messaging, lists, campaigns and automations are not on Standard, and API access needs Pro.
- A $10 per month per campaign charge covers 10DLC registration and compliance, and RCS rich media is annual-plans only.

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 Heymarket 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: 14 of the 31 other SMS and chat marketing tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- One mailbox that several people work at once.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Slack among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Heymarket’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.
