## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-10 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd recommend, in order. Prices come from third-party reviews and vendor pages. They vary by source and change often, so check the vendor's own pricing page before you buy.
> 
> 1. **SimpleTexting**: My default for most small businesses. It's easy to set up, and campaigns, contacts, automations and two-way replies are all in one clean interface. It starts around $39/mo for 500 credits, with 3 users and credits that roll over. It's owned by Sinch, and its site now appears to carry "Sinch Engage" branding, so don't be surprised if the name changes.

> 
> 2. **EZ Texting**: A close alternative with good automation, segmentation and analytics. It's often a bit cheaper to start (about $20-25/mo), and plans grow with your list size (Launch → Boost → Scale → Enterprise). Carrier fees and overages add to the listed price.
