Easy Text Notifications vs SlickText
SlickText is one of the best SMS marketing platforms on the market. If that sentence describes what you need, buy SlickText. Here is the case where you should not.
| Easy Text Notifications | SlickText | |
|---|---|---|
| 500 texts/mo | $19/mo — or $190/yr, which works out to $15.83/mo | $29 + carrier fees |
| Contacts | Unlimited | Priced by list size on higher tiers |
| Carrier registration | Filed for you, fee waived on annual | You complete it; fees passed through |
| Any-website support | WordPress plugin + HTML snippet | Web forms/widgets, marketing focus |
| Drip campaigns, contests, MMS | No — on purpose | Yes, excellent |
| Dedicated short codes | No | Yes |
Where we win
- Price for notifications: $15.83/mo vs $29+ at the 500-text load — roughly half, verifiable on their pricing page.
- Unlimited contacts — no list-size tier jumps, ever.
- Registration handled with no monthly carrier surcharge line.
Where we lose
- Marketing campaigns: drip sequences, segmentation, contests, MMS media — SlickText is genuinely better. That is their product.
- Phone support and an established review history — they have it, we are new.
- Very high volume (10k+/mo) — their upper tiers and raw Twilio beat our rate.
Switching from SlickText
- Install the plugin or snippet and fill in the one business form — we file your carrier registration (live in 1–3 days). Your SlickText account keeps running meanwhile.
- When your number is live, point order, form, and booking events at us and send a test.
- Cancel or downgrade SlickText once notifications flow. Replies forward to your email automatically — nothing to configure.
Keeping a dedicated SlickText number? Porting is a manual request — contact us before you cancel, because a closed account can release the number.
The honest verdict
Buying a campaign platform? SlickText. Sending order alerts, form leads, and reminders from a website? That is us, at about half the monthly cost.
Common questions
Should I pick SlickText instead?
If you want drip campaigns, contests, and mass texting to a marketing list, 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.
Are these prices current?
Prices are checked against public pricing pages and dated on this page. If a number is stale, tell us and we will fix it — the comparison only works if it is verifiable.
Can I keep SlickText for marketing and use you for notifications?
Yes — that split is common. Campaigns stay on their number; order and form alerts run through us on a separate local number. The two never conflict.
