Project Broadcast is listed from $7, but our comparison says to budget for credits and fees beyond that starting price. If you’re switching, compare the full cost with what you need: basic two-way texting, campaign automation, or broader messaging channels. SimpleTexting and EZ Texting are lower-friction SMS alternatives to evaluate; Postscript and Attentive suit brands looking at larger SMS programs. Several options here don’t publish a starting price, so get a quote before you migrate.
01Why people leave Project Broadcast
Credits and fees raise the total
Our comparison flags costs beyond Project Broadcast’s $7 starting price. No Reddit posts were provided to verify how often this drives departures.
A different SMS setup may fit better
Alternatives here target different needs, from two-way texting and APIs to AI-led journeys. Treat that as a comparison point, not a verified Reddit complaint.
You want clearer pricing before switching
Some alternatives list starting prices; Attentive, Community and Batch do not in the published details. No Reddit evidence was provided for this reason.
02The alternatives, ranked by fit
- Small business SMS
SimpleTextingSimpleTextingSwitch to SimpleTexting if your priority is straightforward business texting rather than the broader Project Broadcast toolkit. Our comparison lists two-way texting and SMS API access, with pricing from $33.20. That gives you concrete features and a listed starting price to compare against Project Broadcast’s $7 entry point and its additional credits and fees.
Trade-off: The listed starting price is higher, and the full cost at your volume needs checking.
6.4/10from
$33.20/mo - No-code SMS campaigns
EZ TextingEZ TextingEZ Texting is worth comparing if you want SMS and MMS campaigns with no-code workflows. Our comparison lists it from $20 and calls out campaign basics and automation. That is a clearer starting price than options marked n/a, but the included credits are tight, so compare the allowance and add-on costs with your Project Broadcast usage.
Trade-off: Tight included credits and add-on costs can weaken the value.
6.6/10from
$20/mo - Scaling SMS revenue
PostscriptPostscriptPostscript is a closer fit for brands building an SMS program or scaling SMS revenue than for a small team seeking the lowest entry price. Our comparison lists a free plan and pricing from $100, plus AI-led marketing journeys. It also flags message fees and a $699 AI plan, so compare the features you need against the total bill.
Trade-off: Message fees and the $699 AI plan narrow its value.
6.2/10from
$100/mofree plan - SMS-led omnichannel
AttentiveAttentiveConsider Attentive if your switch is about SMS campaigns across several messaging channels, or if you want managed flow support. Those are our comparison’s stated strengths. Pricing is listed as n/a, so this is not a budget-first recommendation: request a quote and written migration details before treating it as a replacement for Project Broadcast.
Trade-off: Pricing is not listed; get migration details in writing.
6.8/10from
Custom - Audience segmentation
CommunityCommunityCommunity may suit teams that need multiple messaging channels and audience segments based on member data. That makes it a different option to evaluate if Project Broadcast’s current setup does not match your segmentation needs. Our comparison says pricing is custom-quoted, so ask for a specific quote before comparing its cost with Project Broadcast.
Trade-off: Opaque, custom-quoted pricing makes cost comparison difficult.
6.0/10from
Custom - Occasional SMS campaigns
TextedlyTextedlyTextedly is an option for smaller teams sending occasional campaigns that also want two-way texting and automation. Our comparison lists a free plan and pricing from $29, and says its message caps are clear. Check those caps against your sending needs; the comparison also flags enough support complaints to warrant caution.
Trade-off: Support complaints are a reason to check service expectations carefully.
