- **Workflows:** Automations from simple drip sequences to branching journeys, included on every plan.
- **Popups, forms and landing pages:** Branded website popups, embeddable forms and landing pages that collect phone numbers and other contact details.
- **Two-way inbox:** One-to-one conversations with subscribers; incoming texts are free and do not use credits.

## Good for

- Small US and Canadian businesses starting SMS marketing
- Stores and brands growing a text list with website popups
- Nonprofits, with 20% off any standard plan

## Worth knowing

- 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. SlickText is text marketing for the US and Canada, with every feature on every plan: segmented mass texts, branching workflows, popups, forms and landing pages, and a two-way inbox. 1,000 credits is $40.83 a month billed yearly, and incoming texts are free. It's texting only, so it won't help with WhatsApp or Instagram.

- **Value for money: C.** 1,000 credits, enough to text 1,000 customers once, is $40.83 a month billed yearly ($49 monthly). Carriers add a small fee per text, passed on without markup, and there's no automatic overage charge. That's ordinary for this category, and it says it will match SimpleTexting's prices.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a 14-day free trial with every feature and no credit card. Long enough to build a popup and send a first campaign.
- **Features: C.** The texting job done fully, with more automation than most: segments, branching workflows, popups, forms and landing pages, a two-way inbox 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. Every plan has the same features, but there's a number to register, which SlickText says often takes hours, and workflows to build.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with Shopify, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Salesforce, Constant Contact, ActiveCampaign, Zapier and Make. Texts only reach the US and Canada, and there's no desktop app, which an A needs.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace SlickText 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 $290.04 a year.

- You could make: Popups and forms: an app builder makes these 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, Shopify, Mailchimp and HubSpot among them.
