COMPARE

Text-Em-All vs TextMagic

Both send mass texts, but Text-Em-All is built for the messages people can't miss, with deliverability, voice, and a US employee-owned team behind them. Here is how the two compare.

How does Text-Em-All compare to TextMagic?

Text-Em-All and TextMagic both send mass texts. Text-Em-All is a US-based, employee-owned platform built for organizations that need their messages to land, alerts, reminders, shift fills, with automated voice as a backup, and no per-user or per-number fees.

TextMagic is a lower-cost business-SMS tool that pairs bulk texting with a two-way inbox and a developer API. The differences that decide it are deliverability, how voice is priced, and what you pay beyond the per-text rate.

Where Text-Em-All and TextMagic differ

Delivery discipline, or a general gateway

Text-Em-All refuses to carry spam and builds 10DLC and carrier compliance into the send path. Twenty-one years of a clean sender reputation is why carriers trust our traffic, and the messages you can't miss get through.

TextMagic is a general SMS gateway that sends bulk texts across a wide range of business use cases. It markets reliable, compliant texting, but more of the number, campaign, and reputation setup is left to you.

Voice in your credits, or metered by the minute

Text-Em-All includes automated voice broadcast in the same credits and the same workflow, so a text and a follow-up call reach the same list, a real backup for people who won't read a text.

TextMagic offers voice too, with text-to-speech and recorded calls, but bills it by the minute as a separate telephony feature.

What you pay beyond the sticker price

Text-Em-All has no per-user fee and no per-number fee, absorbs carrier and 10DLC surcharges, and credits never expire.

TextMagic has a low per-text rate, but a dedicated number is $10 a month, a 10DLC campaign is $10 a month, and MMS is 8 cents, each billed separately.

How pricing compares

Both platforms are pay-as-you-go, so you can start small on either. The gap shows up in the extras and at volume.

Text-Em-All pricing

Starts at 9 cents per credit, or $19 a month, and the per-credit price drops toward 5 cents as your volume climbs. One credit sends one text, and a voice call comes out of the same balance. Numbers are free, users are free, carrier and 10DLC fees are absorbed, and credits never expire.

You can see current Text-Em-All pricing for the full breakdown.

TextMagic pricing

Starts at 4.9 cents per SMS, with optional monthly plans in a few countries. A dedicated number is $10 a month, a 10DLC campaign is $10 a month, MMS is 8 cents, and voice is billed per minute. Unlimited users are included, and prepaid credit does not expire.

A worked example

SSay a property management company runs five communities and gives each its own local number, so residents recognize who's texting. Across all five, it sends about 1,000 texts a month, maintenance notices, water shutoffs, and board reminders.

TextMagic

1,000 texts at 4.9 cents run about $49. But each of the five local numbers is $10 a month, that's $50, plus a $10 monthly 10DLC campaign.

The result is about $109/month

Text-Em-All

On credits, 1,000 credits fall in the 8.5-cent tier, so the same 1,000 texts cost $85, and all five phone numbers are free with carrier and 10DLC fees absorbed. Unused credits never expire.

The result is $85/month

Text-Em-All comes out about $24 a month lower, roughly $290 a year, because the numbers and the 10DLC campaign are free instead of billed every month.

What customers say

Orange-stars

Text-Em-All handled the signup and telcom authorization with ease. I just entered my info, waited for them to clear me, and composed my message. It was simple to upload my delivery list via Excel. The messages were transmitted quickly and included delivery verification. Simple and effective. Reasonable price too.

Text-Em-All has been an incredibly helpful tool for our youth soccer organization. With more than 100 players and families to keep informed, it allows us to quickly send practice updates, game reminders, schedule changes, weather cancellations, and other important announcements to everyone at once.

Text-em-all has been great. When I called customer service, a real person answered the phone and was very helpful. They even followed up and called me back to make sure everything was corrected and working properly. I sent a test message yesterday, and it took 37 seconds before everyone started receiving it. We will be extending our service with Text-Em-All.
