A cheaper alternative to Textedly for texting employees
Textedly’s entry plan is $29 a month for 500 messages, and each additional teammate is $10 more. For a staff list, both of those numbers are bigger than they need to be.

With three managers sending
On base price alone, Airhorn is cheaper up to about 26 employees. The bigger difference is senders. Restaurants and retail stores usually have a GM and a couple of shift leads who all need to send. On Textedly that’s two extra teammates at $10 each — $49 a month for a 15-person team. On Airhorn it’s still $16.25.
What you give up
Keywords, picture messages, recurring campaigns, and marketing reports. If your business texts customers, Textedly has those and Airhorn doesn’t. The full comparison.
