Why Choose SimpleTexting Over TextMagic?
SimpleTexting offers the simplicity of TextMagic with advanced text message marketing and SMS chat features, making it the perfect texting tool for all companies.
More Cost-Effective
Cost isn’t everything, but did you know you can save hundreds of dollars using SimpleTexting? The best part is you still take advantage of the same–and even more–features. It’s a no-brainer.
Send MMS
MMS allows you to send images, videos, audio, and GIFs. Why should you want to send MMS?MMS campaigns have a 20% higher opt-in rate than SMS campaigns, and MMS messages are 8x more likely to be shared on social media. Pics and gifs are much more engaging than plain old text, so it’s essential to choose a platform that allows you to send them.
Advanced Features
We don’t just offer a more affordable service than TextMagic–we provide a robust suite of features our customers love. Send automatic birthday texts or get instant feedback from customers with a text poll using our Text to Vote Survey feature. You can even run an SMS sweepstakes. We even pick the winner for you!
Free List Growth Tools
TextMagic offers a Click-to-Text button and a web form, which is great. So does SimpleTexting. We also provide our customers–free of charge–the ability to add a mobile sign up widget to their website they can use to promote a keyword. The latter is particularly powerful for customers who use keywords on a toll-free or local number.SimpleTexting Reviews vs. TextMagic Reviews

Hear what others have to say about how we measure up to the competition.
"SimpleTexting is one of the easiest solutions to get started with. We’re able to directly contact our users to update them or get them to opt-in to our community. You don’t have to have any development experience. You can just sign up and have a way to directly text your users."
"I use SimpleTexting to better connect with my audience and build relationships with them on a 1-on-1 basis. I love that there’s an app and that I can send things out from my phone. Texts are way more personal than sending an email blast or putting something out on social."
"What I like best about SimpleTexting is that it allows me to interact with my clients on a regular basis. I send out a monthly market update along with an invitation to enter a drawing for a $25 gift card. This interaction keeps me top of mind for referrals and directs clients to my website."
"We needed a simple way to drive app downloads for our company, and SimpleTexting provides that. It’s so easy to add the shortcode and keyword to our marketing materials. The platform even integrates with our website, allowing visitors to request a download link to their phone."
"SimpleTexting makes my work easier. It has helped us streamline communication and cut down our communication time significantly. I like being able to send mass texts to my beneficiaries and also engage with them one on one. It’s super useful to automate messages."
