Starts at $499/month
TextUs uses a subscription-based model that scales based on team size, message volume, and seats required. At this time, TextUs only lists a base plan that starts at $499. Additional details such as how costs scale with users, message volume, or features are not publicly available. Businesses must contact the TextUs sales team directly to learn more about full pricing, plan structure, and potential add-ons.
This lack of transparency can make it difficult to estimate total costs upfront or compare options side by side. Businesses may face added friction during the buying process, especially when budgeting for growth.
Starts at $59.99/month
Text Request offers transparent, volume-based pricing that makes it easy to predict monthly costs without having to stack multiple add-ons. 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.
