The short answer

Smarter Contact is the largest of the high-volume texting platforms, now including Launch Control, and it prices like one: a plan fee of $199 to $499 a month plus 2 to 3 cents per outbound text, or committed-use tiers from $799 with 20,000 texts included, then numbers, media and extra seats at $159 to $199 each on top. Signilio's plans run from $34.99 a month for 1,000 texts to $189.99 for 12,000, with seats and numbers included and extra numbers at $1. The bigger difference is what the two are for. Smarter Contact is built for investors and contractors texting property and business lists at volume, with a litigator scrub as the safety net. Signilio is built for outbound to people who have agreed to hear from you, on registered numbers, with opt-outs honored automatically and carrier fees inside the price. The estimator prices both bills.
