Comparison
Attentive pricing vs Signilio for sales teams
Published pricing, what a plan includes, the fees that show up later, and the shared inbox, side by side. Checked September 25, 2026.
The short answer
Attentive is the enterprise SMS marketing platform for consumer brands, and it is sold that way: a contract with a base fee, per-segment rates you learn from the order form, minimum commits, and short codes at $750 a month, with carrier fees passed through on top. None of the platform pricing is published, so there is no bill to estimate. For a large brand running SMS and email to a subscriber list with a dedicated success team, that is the product. For a sales team it is neither the shape nor the price bracket. Signilio publishes its plans, from $34.99 a month for 1,000 texts, on registered local numbers, with a two-way team inbox and monthly plans you can cancel anytime.
