The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $18.49 a month on annual billing is inside the cheaper quarter of the category, though it covers only 500 credits. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 15-day trial with 50 messages and no card, and no free plan. |
| Features | C | A dedicated number, keywords and groups for sending texts, and nothing else on the page. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and you set up a keyword and number. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations 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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Small US businesses starting with a low-volume text plan
- Agencies that want to resell texting under their own brand
Worth knowing
- Only the 500-credit price is readable on the page; prices for the larger steps up to 50,000 credits are picked in a selector.
- The service is US only.
- Extra credits cost $0.04 each at small packs, falling to $0.0125 at 100,000.
- Additional numbers cost $10 to set up and $10 a month.
