I haven't used many other email validation products before, only a couple of 'free' cloud-based options with limited list size capability. Kickbox is super professional, easy to use, and works.

TextMagic is a wonderful solution for small businesses or non-profits just adding an SMS text service to their marketing outreach program. Very easy to set up and use. Customers seem to like SMS as a method of communication. Easily lets you keep in touch with them at a very nominal cost. Immediate feedback if they respond to your text on the dashboard through chat.

  • Connection between other services ERP, CRM and slack.
  • Textmagic is a tool for kids who want to SMS chat.
  • The possibility to change the SMS provider to Twilio or others. It is not legal to forbid that but they find a way to bypass that.

I am very happy with how TextMagic is working. I don't see a reason to spend time searching for another solution when this works great at a good price. Customers have shown a good response to the text messages we have send. Very small percentage unsubscribed (but that was automated/easy).

It has been very easy to use TextMagic to set up. The calculator showing character count which relates to cost is easy to see and adjust. The scheduling portion is also easy to set up and edit if needed. You can see history to copy wording if you need to. I have suggested to other friends that do not have a text service.

I like Kickbox output files better as it includes the "domain". Overall, both softwares could do a better job cleaning lists. Kickbox shows more "unknown" emails where are BriteVerify shows less "unknown emails" but then more bad emails end up in the valid list. Kickbox has a higher threshold to put emails in "unknown".

TextMagic just worked. Where Trello seemed like we needed to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it working, TextMagic was simple to set up. Everything seemed streamlined and easy to manage.

  • It's just a small part of our communications with employees but they appreciate it very much!
  • It is a very cost effective communications tool.
  • There is no negative impact. I just need to remember to update the contact lists with any employee changes.
