Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 27 of the 77 other SMS and chat marketing tools we grade
Text-Em-All sends one-to-many text and voice broadcasts and handles replies in a shared two-way inbox. It sells two ways to pay: credits bought as needed, or a flat monthly price set by how many unique people you message. It is aimed at schools, churches, healthcare, staffing and similar organizations, and carrier registration is handled for you.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Text-Em-All, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and carrier registration is done for you.
- 1
Best for text and voice broadcasts for schools and churches
But the cheapest paid plan is capped at that size, and the free account only tests texting to your own number.
- 2
Paid plans start at $19 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $19 per month for up to 50 contacts, or 9¢ per credit.
- 3
You can try it first
Free account with 25 credits to test texting your own number; mass texting needs an upgrade
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Text and voice broadcasts
Send a text, a voice message or both to the same list, with a combo option that calls numbers that cannot receive texts.
- 6
Two-way shared inbox
Each broadcast arrives as a private message and replies land in one inbox that every user on the account can open.
- 7
Scheduling and keywords
Schedule sends for later; on the credits plan, repeat them daily, weekly or monthly and run keyword sign-ups and auto-replies.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 27 of 77
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 Text-Em-All 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 text and voice broadcasts for schools and churches
Text-Em-All sends text and voice broadcasts and handles replies in a shared inbox, from $19 a month for 50 contacts. But the cheapest paid plan is capped at that size, and the free account only tests texting to your own number.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $19 a month covers 50 contacts, but 300 contacts cost $99. Credits are 9 cents each, against a middle of $36. |
| Free plan and trial | D | The free account only tests texting to your own number, and mass texting needs an upgrade. |
| Features | C | Broadcasts, a two-way inbox and scheduling, with repeating broadcasts, keywords and drips limited on the Monthly plan. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and carrier registration is done for you. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, plus an API and integrations; the app only manages replies. |
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.

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 Text-Em-All 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 $228 a year.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- A voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Text-Em-All’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.
