Textedly
Textedly is a text message marketing platform for businesses running permission-based SMS and MMS campaigns. Core use is mass texting: broadcasting to a list, running keyword and web-form opt-ins, and handling one-to-one replies from a shared inbox. The platform also covers automated drip campaigns, birthday campaigns, MMS picture messaging, and messages of up to 1,600 characters.
Around the messaging sit several adjacent products: text-to-pay payment links, automated Google Business review requests, email marketing, AI voice and messaging agents that answer inbound calls and qualify leads, and contact data enrichment that appends names and email addresses to mobile numbers.
Numbers come in three forms: toll-free, 10-digit long code (10DLC), and short code. Toll-free numbers carry no registration fee. For a local 10DLC number carriers require a registration fee, which Textedly says it covers for a customer's first 10DLC number; standard tiered carrier fees apply beyond that. The platform lists 3,000+ integrations.
Pricing is by monthly message volume and keyword count, starting at $29 per month, with every feature included on every plan; higher tiers only raise the message and keyword limits. Inbound messages are free and there are no long-term contracts. Paying annually adds 20% more texts per month. A free account comes with 50 text messages and one custom keyword and requires no credit card.
Best for
Operators and marketing teams that want opt-in text campaigns, drip automation, and review requests on one subscription, sized by monthly message volume rather than per seat. Not a fit for anyone needing a full CRM.

Common questions
- How is SMS pricing calculated?
- Monthly text message volume and the number of keywords set the plan price. Plans can be paid month to month or annually, and annual billing includes 20% more texts per month. Every plan carries the same features; only the message and keyword limits change.
- Is there a setup fee?
- It depends on the number type. Toll-free numbers require no registration fee. Local 10DLC numbers carry a carrier registration fee to verify the business, which Textedly says it pays in full for a customer's first 10DLC number. Beyond that, standard carrier fees apply, tiered by message volume.
- Can I try the platform before paying?
- Yes. A free account comes with 50 text messages and one custom keyword so the platform can be tested, with no credit card required and no stated time limit.
