Easy Text Notifications vs SimpleTexting
SimpleTexting is a polished two-way texting platform for teams. If you want an inbox your staff live in, it is a fine choice. For automated website notifications, the math is not close.
| Easy Text Notifications | SimpleTexting | |
|---|---|---|
| 500 texts/mo | $15.83 annual · $19 mo-to-mo | ~$39 ($29 + $10/mo number fee) |
| Dedicated number | Included | $10/mo add-on |
| Carrier registration | Filed for you | You complete it; fees apply |
| Team inbox / two-way conversations | Replies forward to email | Full shared inbox — better |
| Campaign features | No — on purpose | Yes |
Where we win
- Total monthly cost at notification volume: $15.83 vs ~$39 — the $10/mo number fee alone is two-thirds of our annual price.
- Unlimited contacts and one-month quota rollover.
- Setup without carrier paperwork.
Where we lose
- Two-way team messaging: their shared inbox is a real product; our reply-to-email is deliberately simpler.
- Mobile app: they have one, we do not.
- Marketing sends to big lists: their platform, their win.
The honest verdict
If staff will hold conversations by text all day, SimpleTexting earns its price. If your website just needs to notify people reliably, you are overpaying by ~$23/mo for an inbox nobody opens.
Common questions
Should I pick SimpleTexting instead?
If you want a shared team inbox for two-way customer conversations, yes — genuinely. That is their product, not ours. If you want website notifications — order alerts, form leads, booking reminders — we are 35–50% cheaper at like volume with carrier registration handled instead of surcharged.
