Comparison
TextUs 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
TextUs is aimed at the same teams we are, sales and recruiting, and prices simply: $299 a month for 5,000 messages and five numbers, 2 cents a message for planned growth and 5 cents for spikes, $49 a month per extra number, on a 12-month term. Signilio's plans are month to month, from $34.99 a month for 1,000 texts to $189.99 for 12,000 texts and 10 numbers, with extra numbers at $1. At the $299 floor TextUs works out to about 6 cents a message; the estimator shows where the two land for your volume and how many numbers you run.

Common questions
- Is TextUs cheaper than Signilio?
- It depends on volume and team size. For a team of five sending 10,000 one-segment texts a month from five numbers, TextUs's cheapest published way to buy that is Pro, and the published bill comes to $399.00 a month before extra users (seat pricing not published) and 10DLC campaign fee and carrier fees, which TextUs does not price publicly. Signilio is $189.99 a month on its Pro plan for the same team, carrier fees included. Which one is cheaper changes with volume and team size, so the calculator above gives your own number.
