COMPARE

Text-Em-All vs SimpleTexting

Text-Em-All and SimpleTexting are both mass texting platforms. Text-Em-All is known for helping organizations send important messages to large groups, with pay-as-you-go pricing and voice messaging included. SimpleTexting focuses on always-on campaigns billed as a monthly subscription.

Pay for what you send, or pay every month

Text-Em-All credits never expire, and there is no monthly fee on the Credits plan. Organizations with seasonal or unpredictable sending only pay in the months they actually send.

SimpleTexting is subscription-first. Rollover credits expire after one month, so you pay every month whether you send or not.

Text and voice, or text only

Text-Em-All includes voice broadcasts, text-to-speech, and combo broadcasts that automatically call numbers that can't receive a text, a form of automated calling that reaches landlines and non-texters.

SimpleTexting does not offer voice broadcasting. It is a text-only platform.

What you pay beyond the sticker price

Text-Em-All has no per-user fee, no per-number fee, and no carrier surcharge pass-through.

SimpleTexting adds $20 per user per month after the first three users, $10 per month for each extra number, carrier fees pass through, and a one-time $4 registration fee.

How pricing compares

Both platforms list a starting price, but the way you pay is the real difference.

Text-Em-All pricing

Credits start at 9 cents and drop with volume, down to about 5 cents per credit. Monthly plans start at $19. Unlimited users, free additional numbers, carrier surcharges are included, and credits never expire.

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

SimpleTexting pricing

Plans start at $29 per month for 500 texts with a toll-free number, or $39 per month with a local number. Extra credits run about 5.5 cents, annual billing takes 20 percent off and carrier fees are additional.

A worked example

Say a staffing firm sends 5,000 texts during a busy month and almost nothing the next.

On Text-Em-All credits, that busy month costs 5,000 x 7.5 cents, or about $375, and the quiet month costs $0 with leftover credits banked for later.

On a subscription sized for the busy month, you pay every month, or you watch rollover credits expire.

Text-Em-All is not always cheaper. Steady, high-volume senders can pay less per text on a subscription. The honest question is, who controls when you pay?

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.
