Why choose SimpleTexting as an alternative to Textedly?
Here are the top reasons people opt for SimpleTexting over Textedly.
One plan, all features
SimpleTexting offers a single plan with credits that you can scale based on your expected SMS usage. After you pay the monthly cost for your number type, all of the rest of your monthly plan fees go to credits, not features.Since we offer just the one scalable plan, every user has access to all our core features, including automated texts and away messages.
Meanwhile, Textedly has multiple plans with some features gated behind more expensive options. On top of that, you have to download tools like Instagram texting from the Textedly App Store, which can cost a one-time fee.
Unlimited keywords for every user
We understand how important it is to organize your contacts and metrics by campaign. That’s why SimpleTexting offers unlimited keywords to everyone, whether you use them for text-to-join, text-to-vote, or text-to-win campaigns.From there, you can also segment your keyword lists for personalized texting strategies. Those segments are unlimited, too.
Textedly offers up to 100 keywords depending on your plan, but if you plan on paying less than $100 per month, you’ll get two or fewer keywords.
Mobile app available
SimpleTexting has a mobile app available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. It includes all the tools you need to manage your text message marketing campaigns from anywhere, including campaigns, two-way texting, contact management, and automated texts.On the other hand, Textedly doesn’t have a mobile app. It does have a mobile-optimized site, but it can be harder to manage notifications from your mobile browser compared to a dedicated app. So, if you like to read and reply to texts from your mobile device, it’s trickier with Textedly.
Rollover credits available
To account for changing texting needs month-to-month, SimpleTexting has rollover credits. If you don’t use all the credits on your plan, we’ll roll them over for you to use the next month after your plan credits run out.Textedly doesn’t offer any rollover credits, meaning you’ll need to use all the credits in your plan for the month or lose them.
API access and custom integrations
If you want to integrate texting into your existing tech stack, SimpleTexting gives you two advanced options: API access and custom integrations. The API works well for businesses that can hire developers to integrate software. Custom integrations suit businesses that would rather have our team create an integration for them.Textedly doesn’t have any advanced integration options, but it does have Zapier support. SimpleTexting also works with Zapier, so users looking for basic automations don’t have to consider this difference too much in their decision-making.

…But numbers don’t tell the whole story
On paper, SimpleTexting and Textedly seem to have about the same price. But, at lower plan tiers, Textedly offers fewer features, meaning that businesses on a budget miss out on tools they need for text message marketing. SimpleTexting offers unlimited keywords, three user seats, and rollover credits on every plan, while Textedly requires you to upgrade your plan for more than one keyword or user seat.
Let’s see how this adds up, assuming that we charge $10 extra for a 10DLC number and include Textedly’s $8 telecom fee:
SimpleTexting
✅ Rollover credits
✅ Unlimited keywords
✅ Three user seats
Textedly
❌ No rollover credits
❌ Limited keywords
❌ One user seat
