Chose Textmagic
I haven't evaluation many other platforms. I have tried Keap a bit, but it's texting ability is very limited, and it doesn't handle replies well at all.
Chose Textmagic
This was the first product that we tried. I selected it because it had the best value for sending texts out to customers. I liked the trial feature and some discounts on buying credits. Since then, I like the easy to auto-refill the balance so I don't have to worry about adding …

TextMagic just worked. Where Trello seemed like we needed to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it working, TextMagic was simple to set up. Everything seemed streamlined and easy to manage.

Chose Textmagic
We have our company cell phones through AT&T and we researched setting up a text blasting service through them. It would have been a very expensive option and it made no sense to spend that kind of money when TextMagic does everything we need it to do for a minimal investment.

TextMagic was the perfect choice for what we wanted to do, which was sending a COVID screening questionnaire on a daily basis to our staff.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Connection between other services ERP, CRM and slack.
  • Textmagic is a tool for kids who want to SMS chat.
  • The possibility to change the SMS provider to Twilio or others. It is not legal to forbid that but they find a way to bypass that.

I am very happy with how TextMagic is working. I don't see a reason to spend time searching for another solution when this works great at a good price. Customers have shown a good response to the text messages we have send. Very small percentage unsubscribed (but that was automated/easy).

It has been very easy to use TextMagic to set up. The calculator showing character count which relates to cost is easy to see and adjust. The scheduling portion is also easy to set up and edit if needed. You can see history to copy wording if you need to. I have suggested to other friends that do not have a text service.

  • It's just a small part of our communications with employees but they appreciate it very much!
  • It is a very cost effective communications tool.
  • There is no negative impact. I just need to remember to update the contact lists with any employee changes.
