SimpleTexting vs EZ Texting pricing
On the recurring 500 credit base components, EZ Texting at $30 saves $9 against SimpleTexting at $39, before fees differ, and that comparison covers only those components. For a three user team, EZ Texting adds two extra users at $10 each, which is $50 against SimpleTexting's $39, so SimpleTexting runs $11 less on those components only. Outgoing SMS costs 1 credit up to 160 characters on both, and outgoing MMS costs 3 credits on both. Incoming SMS is free on both, while incoming MMS costs 1 credit on SimpleTexting and EZ Texting states inbound messages are free. Both current standard monthly plans roll unused credits one extra cycle. The SimpleTexting pricing page verifies that current plan credits are used first and that a downgrade forfeits them, and SimpleTexting rollover help states annual credits sit upfront with no annual rollover. EZ Texting legacy or custom contracts can differ from the standard rollover terms. For SMS splitting math, see our SMS segment calculator.

Every row names the winner in words. Scores are out of 10 on the six equally weighted criteria; Rate, volume-band and fee read dates are listed in the pricing evidence above. Not captured means our capture holds no value for that field, which is not the same as the provider lacking it. Not published means the provider's own pages were checked and state no figure.
What SimpleTexting and EZ Texting cost each month
A per message provider is priced by the band, top-up or number type your volume reaches, before number rental and carrier fees. A plan provider is priced by its cheapest published plan, or plan plus overage, that covers the volume, with the number and carrier fees it publishes added in: the rule the SMS marketing platforms comparison uses.
SimpleTexting vs EZ Texting features
Both providers offer an API, a web app and two-way SMS. The team seat count is the distinctive documented limit, in that SimpleTexting includes three users on the monthly base while EZ Texting includes one user and charges $10 per month per extra user, per the EZ Texting pricing page and the SimpleTexting pricing page read October 23, 2026. The EZ Texting page also states its own carrier fee conflict, in that a footnote says pass-through fees are billed separately by usage while an FAQ says other carrier fees are included on 10-digit plans, so confirm your quote rather than trusting either statement alone. Extended SMS beyond 160 characters costs 2 credits up to 306 characters on SimpleTexting. We ran no API or delivery tests for either provider. Our SimpleTexting review and EZ Texting review carry the fuller feature detail.
Who should pick which
Pick SimpleTexting when a three person team works one account, since the included seats remove the $10 per user charges that EZ Texting adds, per the SimpleTexting pricing page read October 23, 2026. Pick EZ Texting when one user sends under 500 credits a month, since $30 covers base and telecom fee before overage and saves $9 on those components, per the EZ Texting pricing page. Both monthly plans roll unused credits one extra cycle, so neither rewards hoarding beyond that. Each of these comparisons covers the stated components only, before fees differ.
