Best for cheap US-only text marketing
TXT180 sells US text marketing by monthly credits, from $18.49 a month on annual billing, with a 15-day trial that needs no card. But the page only shows the 500-credit price, it is US only, and it does little beyond sending texts.
Who TXT180 is for
- Fits if you send a small number of texts to US customers
- Works for people who want a low starting price
Who TXT180 is not for
- Not for you if you text outside the US, as it is US only
- Tight if you send more: only the 500-credit price is shown, and extra credits are 4 cents
- Watch out: an MMS costs 3 credits, and extra numbers are $10 to set up and $10 a month
- Too light for teams: no inbox or integrations are listed
