Verified User Anonymous Chose SimpleTexting I like Google Voice but it doesn't automatically send texts or let you know if numbers are invalid and such.

Incentivized Helpful? ME Megan Eilenberger Program Director Chose SimpleTexting I don't remember the other products we've reviewed. I do have to say that we will be moving to Salesforce and hope that SimpleTexting integrates with it. As a nonprofit, we definitely would have reviewed free or next to free products. We appreciate that SimpleTexting provides a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SimpleTexting TextMarks offered all the features/functions we were looking for, especially their "Text for Info" function. We were looking for a solution that would simply allow people to receive information without actually subscribing into a list. However, the cost was too high. Flocknotes … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	SimpleTexting	Textmagic
Likelihood to Recommend	SimpleTexting has been wonderful for the purposes for which we signed up. We wanted an easy-to-use platform that allowed 2-way texting, assigned a phone number, had the ability to collect phone numbers/contact easily (whether through an import or a user sign-up, spoiler SimpleTexting has both), etc. It has provided all of that and more easily, without a contract. And the platform is so easy to use for our team. One of the only issues we're having is wanting to expand our use of SimpleTexting, and using multiple options for texting (i.e., shortcode, toll-free, landline/business enabling) has been difficult on one account. Incentivized Dana North Marketing Director Read full review	TextMagic was the perfect choice for what we wanted to do, which was sending a COVID screening questionnaire on a daily basis to our staff. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	SimpleTexting is easy to use. Multiple users can access the dashboard and send texts and manage contacts We have had great success running multiple promotions at once by using different keywords to trigger various offers. For example, one keyword will trigger a free service, and another keyword will trigger a discount off product or service. Simpletexting lets us segment our list which is extremely helpful in sending out market specific offers Incentivized Kim Allen Marketing Director Read full review	Easy to use Reminders when our balance is low, we never have to worry about going to send a text and not having enough credits Multiple users are able to work off of the same account Detailed records kept of each text conversation Incentivized Courtney Kuzmich Office Manager Read full review
Cons	A lot of glitches and bugs, with promised fixes that keep dragging on for some time. Mobile notifications are very buggy. You have to keep force-closing the app and re-opening it multiple times to get the notifications to refresh. Constant toggling of 'Unread' and 'All' on mobile or desktop to get the notifications to clear and show up as opened, otherwise it will imply it's not read. Also, sometimes new notifications don't show up. Incentivized Bohdan Cole Meteorologist Read full review	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.

Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	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). Incentivized SS Suzanne Stafford Principal Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized SS Suzanne Stafford Principal Read full review
Support Rating	With SimpleTexting updating little things here and there almost daily. We reach out to their support team constantly. They have one of the best response rates I have ever experienced! Normally it takes less than a minute to speak to a real person, but even if they are busy they have an answer bot send you articles to see if you can solve the issue yourself first! One of the best support teams ever Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	We chose SimpleTexting based on their starting messaging options as well as the no limitations on the number of keywords we can use.

Return on Investment	Because we are able to reach more people through subscribing, our number of donations has increased and the number of volunteers has increased. We have gone from an average of 5 volunteers an even to 25-30. Our donations increased by 25%. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Incentivized Alissa Hamilton Human Resources Manager Read full review
