Textla's SMS Rates vs Other Providers

At Textla, we are able to offer the lowest price per text on the market (by far) at $0.005 / SMS. You got that right - half a penny per text!

There are no hidden carrier fees, volume limitations, or up charges. Simply upgrade your account to start sending at the cheapest rates available.

Other providers charge anywhere from $0.01 - $0.10 per text and are also littered with extra fees that aren't disclosed in their pricing. We believe in full transparency, especially when it comes to pricing. If you have any questions, we'd love to help out at support@textla.com.

How is it so inexpensive?

At Textla, we keep cost down by negotiating rates with providers based on usage. This means that the more users we have on Textla, the lower we can keep our fees. Our SMS credits operate on an "at-cost" model, meaning that we are passing those discounts directly to our customers and not taking anything off the top.

We believe that every small business should have access to inexpensive SMS, as the value lies in the platform > not the ability to send texts! Other providers make the majority of their profit off of their SMS fees, up charging 3-10 x what they are paying per text.
