Why SimpleTexting is the best alternative to SlickText
Here are some of the reasons SlickText customers switch to SimpleTexting.
More cost-effective for power users
SimpleTexting costs roughly the same as SlickText at lower plan tiers, so choosing is a matter of preferred features for businesses with small texting volumes. But once you need to cover 7,500 credits per month, SimpleTexting offers a lower per-credit price. Thanks to our volume-based pricing, your plan becomes even more cost-efficient as you scale up.
Better message customization options
Our message composer offers more options for customizing your message, including templates, contact cards, and URL shortening. When you send an MMS through the campaign composer, you can also customize the SMS fallback message for recipients with phones that don’t support the format.
Unique options for list growth
SimpleTexting also provides a few list growth features you can’t find in SlickText.While both apps have data collection, SimpleTexting lets you design your data collection sequence from beginning to end. SlickText uses an AI agent for the sequence, meaning you can’t add your personality to it.
SimpleTexting also has text-to-vote surveys that you can’t get from SlickText. These polls work well as a list growth tactic or way to learn about your customers.
More billing flexibility
In SlickText, when you run out of credits for the month, you have to upgrade your plan or add a bundle of credits. Meanwhile, we don’t stop you from sending more messages than your plan allows – we charge you at a per-message rate. That means if you need to send more texts one month, you can without having to upgrade your plan.
Higher-rated Customer service available seven days a week app
We get that business happens on the weekends, so our customer support desk is available to chat every day of the week. Meanwhile, SlickText only offers customer service on weekdays, meaning you can’t get help if you need it on Saturday or Sunday.
Higher-rated mobile app
When you need to manage customer conversations or mass campaigns on the go, you want a reliable mobile app to handle the job. Our mobile app has higher ratings than SlickText’s on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.How do SimpleTexting and SlickText’s pricing compare?
At first glance, SimpleTexting and SlickText have similar pricing, which is true if you have a small volume of texts to send every month. But there is a difference for businesses that send more often.
