$25 a month and one cent per text. No contracts, no bloat, no enterprise pricing designed to confuse you. Just clean, reliable SMS you can actually afford.
Built by a small business owner who needed this for a band, a boutique, and a media company — and couldn't justify $150 a month for tools he'd use 10% of.
Load credits once, use them whenever. No monthly send limits, no hidden fees, no expiry pressure. Your credits sit there until you use them — next week or next year.
Add $25, $50, $100, or $250 to your balance. Spend only what you use — no surprise invoices at the end of the month.
Write your message, pick your audience, drop in a merge tag. Texta shows segment count and total cost as you type.
Hit send. Watch delivery status, link clicks, and replies roll in. Re-send to the same group with a single click.
Set a low-balance threshold and Texta tops you up automatically. Set it once, never think about it again.
No buried settings. No 40-minute onboarding videos. No features you'll click once and never touch again. And no add-on fees for things that should just be included.
Personalize every message with the recipient's first name, company, or any field in your contact list. Each text feels one-on-one, not a blast.
Any URL is automatically shortened to a go.texta.me link. Saves characters, saves money, and tracks exactly how many people clicked.
Build a simple opt-in form to grow your list. Share the link on social, your site, or in store — new contacts land straight in Texta.
Every campaign is logged with delivered count, failures, and total link clicks. See how each send performed and re-send in one click.
Write your message now, send it Friday at 10am. Texta enforces business hours and timezone detection — no accidental 2am texts.
STOP replies are caught automatically and the contact is excluded from all future sends. Stay compliant without lifting a finger.
Add employees or collaborators to your account at no extra charge. Control exactly what each person can see and do — full access or send-only, it's up to you.
Pre-save your homepage, shop, and socials so they're one tap away when composing. Every link is auto-shortened. Add new ones mid-text and save them on the spot.
A custom-built mobile view strips everything down to what matters — your contacts and your message. Feels like sending a text, not running a campaign.
Most messages cost exactly one cent. A standard SMS holds 160 plain-text characters — that's one segment, one cent. We show you the count as you type so there are never any surprises.
Plain text under 160 characters. Most messages land here. This is the normal, everyday case.
Curly quotes, em dashes, or certain emojis trigger Unicode encoding that shrinks segments to 70 characters.

10DLC (10-digit long code) is a carrier-required registration that tells phone networks who you are and what kind of messages you send. It's how the industry fights spam — registered senders get better delivery rates and stay compliant. You only do it once. Texta walks you through the whole process: you fill in your business name, EIN, and a short description of what you text about, then submit. Approval typically takes a few days. There's a one-time $4 brand fee and a $10/month campaign fee — both passed through at cost with no markup.
A standard text message holds up to 160 characters. That's one segment — one cent. If your message is longer, it splits into multiple segments at one cent each. Most short messages are a single segment, and the app shows the segment count as you type so there are no surprises.
Certain characters — curly quotes, em dashes, some emojis — trigger Unicode encoding that reduces segment size to 70 characters. The app warns you the moment this happens. For best results, stick to plain text.
The first 500 inbound messages per month are on us. After that, replies cost one cent per segment. Most accounts never come close to 500. Your dashboard always shows your current inbound count.
Every inbound reply shows up in your Replies tab, matched to the contact name if we recognize the number. You get an email notification when someone responds. If a contact replies STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT, END, or CANCEL, they're automatically removed from future sends.
If you include a URL in your message, Texta automatically shortens it to a go.texta.me link before sending. This saves characters (which saves money) and lets you see exactly how many people clicked, right in your send history.
Set up auto-recharge so your balance tops up automatically when it drops below a threshold you choose. Or add credits manually any time. Your campaigns never get cut off mid-send.
Yes. Image messages (MMS) cost 2.5 cents each, regardless of file size. Attach photos, promotional graphics, or GIFs directly in the compose window. That's still cheaper than the major competitors charge for plain text.
Yes. Import via CSV, add them manually, use the Zapier integration to pull them from your existing tools, or use a Texta sign-up form to let people opt in directly. All contacts live in one place and you can group them however makes sense.
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no awkward phone calls. Cancel from your billing settings in under a minute. Your unused credits never expire — if you cancel and come back later, they're still waiting for you.
