Overview
SimpleTexting was launched in 2010 by three founders, Gene, Felix and Andrey, and lists its address at One North Wacker in Chicago. It became part of the Swedish communications group Sinch in 2021 and reports more than 15,000 customers.[10]
The product targets general business texting rather than a single vertical: mass texting, two-way conversations, auto-replies and drip campaigns, MMS, an AI message generator, unlimited contacts, advanced segments and unlimited text-to-join keywords. It integrates with Mailchimp and Zapier and includes opt-in forms and pop-ups, API access, three users and two-factor authentication, with live support seven days a week.[9] Incoming messages and replies are free, and unused credits roll over.[9]
SimpleTexting’s pricing page uses a configurator rather than a fixed table; the configuration shown in November 2026 was US$39 a month for 500 credits. Extra credits cost 5.5 cents each, a local number is US$10 a month, and there is a one-time US$4 carrier registration charge, with US carrier fees of about US$0.0025 per message passed through without mark-up. Credits are counted at 1 per SMS, 2 per extended message of up to 306 characters and 3 per MMS.[9] Additional teammates cost US$20 a month each, which raises the cost for larger teams.
