A cheaper alternative to SlickText for staff texting
SlickText’s entry plans run around $29 a month, sized for a customer list you’re trying to grow. A staff list doesn’t grow like that — so you can pay for the people you have, not the list you might build.
What you’d pay at your team size
| Team size | Airhorn | SlickText |
|---|---|---|
| 5 employees | $8.75/mo | ~$29+/mo |
| 10 employees | $12.50/mo | ~$29+/mo |
| 15 employees | $16.25/mo | ~$29+/mo |
| 20 employees | $20.00/mo | ~$29+/mo |
| 30 employees | $31.50/mo | ~$29+/mo |
Airhorn prices are exact. SlickText prices reflect their published pricing as of October 2026, may have changed, and may vary with message volume and billing period — check their site before deciding.
Why it’s cheaper
Airhorn’s price is $5 plus $0.75 per confirmed employee, which stays under SlickText’s entry price up to about 26 employees. Archive someone who leaves and the bill drops the same day. There’s no credit allowance to size, and no plan upgrade when a busy month comes along.
What you give up
List-growth tools, picture messages, automations, and marketing analytics. Fine for staff; essential for customers. The full comparison.
