Credit/prepaid-based system
Textmagic only offers a prepaid service. Credits can be purchased in bundles of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, or 10,000 in your local currency (USD, EUR, AUD, or GBP). Their pay-as-you-go rates are higher than subscription-based rates for larger senders, which has caused some customers to cite a lack of transparency.
$59.99/month
Flat message allowance
Text Request uses a straight-forward, subscription-based pricing model designed to make business texting simple and predictable. Plans are based on monthly messaging volume, with pricing that stays consistent. Unlike credit-based systems, Text Request pricing is built in, so teams don’t need to top-up credits as conversations grow.
All Text Request plans include access to core features like two-way texting, shared inboxes, automation tools, and onboarding support—making it easier for teams to budget and scale without added complexity.
