See exactly where pricing, credits, and channel coverage differ.

How does Text-Em-All compare to Textedly?

Text-Em-All is a pay-as-you-go and monthly mass texting platform that handles operational messaging and SMS marketing from one account, with voice broadcasting included. Textedly is a subscription-based SMS marketing platform priced in monthly message-volume tiers, built around campaign, payment, and review tools. Text-Em-All fits organizations that need alerts, reminders, and promotions in one place. Textedly fits marketing-focused senders with steady monthly volume.

Where Text-Em-All and Textedly differ

Pay for what you send, or subscribe to a monthly message tier

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.

Textedly sells monthly message tiers on a subscription. Unused messages expire at the end of each billing cycle, so you pay every month whether you send or not, and anything you don't use is gone.

Outbound voice broadcasts, or inbound calls 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 people who don't text.

Textedly has no outbound voice broadcasting. Its voice feature is inbound-only: AI voice agents answer incoming calls, but Textedly cannot send pre-recorded voice messages to a contact list.

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.

Textedly adds an $8 monthly telecom surcharge to every plan, $10 per month for each teammate, and $10 for each extra keyword. A one-time 10DLC registration fee of $4 to $44 applies, and extra messages run $30 per 500.

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

Textedly pricing

Textedly pricing starts at $29 per month and scales by message volume, from 50 messages up to 360,000 a month, with no long-term contract. Annual billing adds 20% more messages, incoming messages are free, and every plan includes the same core features, keywords, picture messaging, and unlimited contacts. Unused messages don't roll over.

On top of the plan, every account pays a $8 monthly telecom surcharge and $10 per teammate per month. Extra messages cost $30 per 500, and 10DLC registration runs $4 to $44.

 

 

A worked example

Textedly advertises plans starting at $29 a month, but the plan price is not the whole bill. Say a small business puts two people on the account and runs one keyword to collect opt-ins.

Textedly

The entry plan is $29 a month. Add the mandatory $8 telecom surcharge, $10 for the second teammate, and $10 for the extra keyword, and the real floor is $57 a month before a single extra message goes out. That floor is due every month, and any messages the plan includes but you don't use expire at the end of the cycle.

The advertised $29 is closer to $57 once the team and the surcharge are on it, and that is the bill in a month you barely send.

Text-Em-All

Users are free, additional numbers are free, and there is no carrier surcharge to pass through. On the Credits plan there is no monthly fee at all, so a quiet month costs nothing and the credits you buy never expire. On a monthly plan, pricing starts at $19 with the whole team included.

 

The gap is not the sticker price. It is everything stacked on top of it, billed every month whether you send or not.

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.
