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 over $100/year using SimpleTexting? The best part is you still take advantage of the same–and even more–features. It’s a no-brainer.
Texting-focused features
SimpleTexting’s toolset is 100% dedicated to bulk texting. That means all the money you spend on our platform goes to your text message marketing efforts. You can choose to integrate your email and social media platforms through Zapier, which has a free plan.Meanwhile, Textmagic opts to offer email and social media messaging features instead of more advanced texting features. This could be an advantage if you want to manage these channels together in one tool, but many of our customers prefer to keep things simple.
Advanced features
We provide a robust suite of SMS marketing features at a more affordable monthly price than Textmagic. 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 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

"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."
"We have been using SimpleTexting for almost a year now and I appreciate the ease of use of the software. To get through the basic task of setting up an SMS campaign, sending it, and tracking responses, it does the job without making it difficult. It’s great software at a good price point."

Scale more affordably with SimpleTexting
Textmagic’s per-credit pricing model with no minimum works well for businesses with low texting needs. But once you need 500 or more credits per month, SimpleTexting is the better deal. Textmagic charges $10 extra for toll-free numbers and $20 extra for 10DLC numbers, making the monthly price more expensive.
Let’s look at the monthly cost for a 10DLC number:
