## Ways to pay less

- **Save 20% with yearly billing** (Annual discount): SimpleTexting's pricing page says yearly plans save 20% and deliver the year's credits up front: 500 credits a month is $278.40 a year against $29 a month. Source: https://simpletexting.com/pricing/

## Key features

- **Mass texting and MMS:** Send campaigns to segments of unlimited contacts, with picture messages at 3 credits each and longer 306-character texts at 2.
- **Two-way messaging:** Customers can reply and the team answers one to one; incoming SMS replies are free and incoming MMS cost 1 credit.
- **Keywords, forms and pop-ups:** Unlimited text-to-join keywords, plus opt-in forms and website pop-ups that add people to your list.
- **Auto-replies and drip campaigns:** Automatic replies and scheduled sequences of texts that go out after someone joins a list.
- **AI Assist:** A message generator that drafts campaign texts, included on every plan.
- **Rollover credits:** On monthly plans, unused plan credits roll over to the end of the following month; yearly plans get all credits up front.

## Good for

- Small US businesses sending promotions and reminders by text
- Churches and nonprofits texting members, with 15% off monthly plans
- Seasonal businesses that want a year of credits up front

## Worth knowing

- A local number adds a $10 monthly carrier fee and $4 one-time registration; carriers also charge about $0.0025 per US message, passed on without markup.
- Extra users cost $20 a month each beyond the 3 included, and extra numbers $10 a month each.
- A dedicated short code starts at $1,000 a month and takes 6 to 8 weeks to set up.
- Rollover credits are lost if you downgrade your plan.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. SimpleTexting is plain, friendly text marketing for US businesses: mass texts, keyword sign-ups, drip campaigns and one-to-one replies, with every feature on every plan. You pay for message credits, $39.20 a month billed yearly for 1,000. It does texting and nothing else, so look elsewhere for WhatsApp or Instagram.

- **Value for money: C.** 1,000 credits, enough to text 1,000 customers once, is $39.20 a month billed yearly ($49 monthly). A local number adds $10 a month and $4 to register, and carriers add about $0.0025 a US text. That's ordinary for this category.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a free trial with no credit card. It has you text your own number first, so you see how a campaign lands before paying.
- **Features: C.** The texting job done fully: mass texts and MMS, two-way replies, unlimited keywords, forms and pop-ups, auto-replies, drip campaigns and an AI writer. But texting is one channel of this category, with no WhatsApp or Instagram.
- **Ease of use: B.** 4.68 from 3,487 App Store ratings, just under the 4.7 an A needs. Every plan has the same features, so there's no tier puzzle to work out either.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with Mailchimp, Zapier, Calendly and the API on every plan. No desktop app, which an A needs.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace SimpleTexting 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. It costs $278.40 a year.

- You could make: Forms: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- You could not: Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Mailchimp, Zapier and Calendly among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
