Researched by: [Lauren Spiller](https://www.capterra.com/resources/author/lspiller/)and reviewed by: [Alexis Figueroa](https://www.capterra.com/resources/author/alexis-figueroa/)

Updated on July 21, 2026

SMS marketing software helps businesses launch and manage text marketing campaigns. Its bulk messaging capabilities can be used to send notifications, advertise specials, share coupons, solicit feedback, poll customers, promote contests, and more.

Marketing and advertising professionals use SMS marketing software to schedule and send personalized messages, maintain contact lists, analyze response rates, and generate reports.

SMS marketing products are typically priced on a “per month” basis. Their entry-level plans typically range from $19 to $59+ per month.

First-time buyers consider budget, user needs, and integrations when evaluating options. To identify the best system for your needs, consult stakeholders on key vendor questions:

_Does this software let me individualize text messages?_

_How does this tool handle high-volume SMS campaigns?_

_Does this tool support integrations with other marketing solutions, such as CRM or email marketing software?_

_What security features are available to protect SMS marketing and customer data?_

## Essential SMS marketing software buying information

SMS marketing software provides businesses with tools to launch and manage text marketing campaigns. Its bulk messaging capabilities can be used to send notifications or alerts, advertise weekly specials, share coupons, solicit feedback, poll customers, promote contests, etc.

Marketing and advertising professionals across sectors—from retail to real estate—use SMS marketing software to schedule and send personalized messages to customers, maintain contact lists, analyze response rates, and generate reports.

Alexis Figueroa\[[1](#sources)\] is a multichannel marketing and strategy consultant based in New York with extensive experience of using SMS with consumer brands. 

“I've used SMS with every brand I've worked with and usually see exceptional results,” she says. “I typically use it for automations and campaigns for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands to drive revenue quickly. It usually works well for that.”

Most SMS marketing products on the market are priced on a “per month” basis, and their entry-level plans typically range from $19 to $59+ per month.\[[2](#sources)\] 

If you’re a first-time buyer, begin evaluating software options with your budget, number of users, specific use cases, and necessary integrations in mind. Additionally, consult with stakeholders on a list of critical questions to ask providers to determine if an option fits your needs, such as:

-   Does this software let me tailor text messages to individual recipients?
    
-   Is this tool scalable if I intend to run high-volume SMS marketing campaigns?
    
-   Does this tool support integrations with other marketing solutions, such as CRM or email marketing software?
    
-   What security features are available to protect SMS marketing and customer data?
    
-   What customer support options does the software offer?

## What is SMS marketing software?

SMS marketing software allows businesses to promote products and services through text messages. It lets businesses send personalized messages to specific contacts or bulk SMS messages to a large pool of contacts. It can also be used to create and maintain contact lists, schedule messages, analyze response rates, and generate reports.

SMS marketing software is also known as text message marketing software or text messaging software. These software solutions typically offer the ability to create and run SMS marketing campaigns, track delivery or open rates, and manage customer opt-ins and opt-outs.

Capterra covers 700 SMS marketing software products, and we published 7,542 reviews from software users within the past year.\[[4](#sources)\]

## SMS marketing software pricing

Most SMS text marketing products on the market are priced on a “per month” basis and can be typically divided into three pricing tiers based on their starting price.\[[2](#sources)\] These tiers correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentiles of pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products, and summarize pricing for the base plans of most products.

-   $19 - $28
    
-   $29 - $59
    
-   $59+
    

First-time buyers should be aware that: 

-   Implementation, integration, and customization are common upfront costs. 
-   Maintenance and support are common recurring costs.
    
-   An enterprise or premium product that is priced higher may include additional features, such as CRM integration, advanced SMS campaign editors, mobile keywords, demo videos, and priority support.
    
-   Some plans have [hidden charges](https://www.capterra.com/resources/best-sms-marketing-platforms/#:~:text=Hidden%20costs%20associated%20with%20SMS%20marketing%20software), such as training and implementation costs, customization costs, add-on charges, and integration and scalability costs. Before making a choice, ask the software vendor about any such hidden charges to ensure full pricing transparency.
    

Free trials are often offered by SMS marketing software providers, and some systems offer free versions.

Figueroa says that companies using SMS for the first time should also ask vendors about their tool’s ability to leverage AI.

“This is more advanced, but necessary when it comes to being intentional about driving revenue,” she says.“ I’ve leveraged AI to speak to specific emotions in SMS, and we usually see significant upticks in revenue.

## Top benefits of SMS marketing software identified by users

**Easier data collection:** SMS message marketing software offers a convenient way to collect customer feedback via two-way text messaging. It lets businesses not only schedule and send mass texts to reach a large audience pool but also receive responses to gather customer feedback, run surveys, and more. 

_“I love that people can text the number and their response goes to our inbox.”_

–Kimberly P., people manager, religious institution

**Enhanced** **client communication:** The client communication and engagement features of text message marketing software make it easier for businesses to interface with customers while simultaneously safeguarding their data. 

**_“_**_It's helped streamline our review request process as well as give our clients a way to reach out on chat which has saved us a ton of time and gotten us more sales.”_

–Samantha W., director of growth, retail

**Increased outreach:** The scheduling feature of an SMS marketing platform helps businesses reach a wider audience pool by allowing them to schedule and send mass text messages at a convenient date and time.

_“I like being able to schedule messages in advance that send to all of my clients individually.”_

–Kelly S., owner cook, food production

**Streamlined marketing processes:** By automating tasks such as responding to customer inquiries, sharing special offers or promotions, and sending personalized messages based on a prospect’s previous interactions, the software simplifies marketing automation efforts for businesses and saves them time. 

_“I highly recommend it for anyone who needs to get content delivered to a large group of people in a timely fashion.”_

–_Nichol N., sales consultant, retail_

## Common challenges of SMS marketing software identified by users

We analyzed our extensive collection of SMS marketing reviews and found that the most common challenges are:

-   Cancellation and refund policies, with some reviews citing unclear contract terms. To safeguard against this, ask the vendor about the length of subscriptions before purchase, and consider trying out a free version if one’s available.
    
-   Issues with payments, with some reviews describing misalignment between what features and functionalities the user is paying for and what they actually need. For tips on negotiating a software contract that fits both your needs and your budget, click [here](https://www.capterra.com/resources/software-negotiation-tips/).
    
-   Difficulties with navigation, with some reviews expressing a subpar user experience. This aligns with findings from our 2024 Tech Trends Survey,\[[5](#sources)\] which revealed that [41% of small enterprises say their employees hate using the software they purchased](https://www.capterra.com/resources/tech-trends-purchase-regret-by-business-size/). To ensure an easier onboarding experience for employees, clarify goals, outcomes, and selection criteria with your team before purchase. You can also ask the vendor about their support offerings ahead of time.
    

Figueroa advises new users to gain a good handle on their send requirements before embarking on mass automations.

“If you are using automated messaging, be sure to look ahead and have an idea of how many contacts will be receiving your messages, so you aren't surprised at the end of the month,” she says.

Deliverability, too, can be an issue. Figueroa advises customers to go with well-known providers so that messages are less likely to be delayed or blocked.

“It is also very important to follow all SMS laws,” she adds. “This means not contacting people without them signing up and giving them an easy way to unsubscribe. This may be obvious for professionals in the space, but could be something that a novice would not consider.”

## What is SMS marketing software used for?

Analysis of our extensive SMS marketing platform reviews highlights the most common use cases:

-   **Customizing and testing text campaigns:** Businesses use SMS marketing software to create and test flows, segment their audiences, and use templates to target specific landing pages.
    
-   **Engaging clients:** Healthcare providers, for instance, use SMS marketing tools to send automated appointment reminders, follow-up messages, and educational resources to keep patients engaged.
    
-   **Reporting on reviews:** Real-time review reporting in an SMS marketing tool allows businesses to take prompt action in response to customer feedback.
    

Figueroa suggests that a business should invest in SMS if they are actively driving traffic to their site or building a mailing list. “It's a great way to stay top of mind when acquiring new customers,” she says.

## Who uses SMS marketing software?

SMS marketing software is typically used across industries by marketers, project managers, sales professionals, and customer service and support agents. The top five sectors that reportedly allocated a budget for SMS marketing, as per Gartner’s 2023 CMO Spend and Strategy Survey, are:\[[6](#sources)\]

-   Consumer products
    
-   IT and business services
    
-   Financial services
    
-   Pharmaceutical
    
-   Manufacturing
    

Additionally, 69% of our SMS marketing software reviews in the past year come from companies with 50 or fewer employees.

Based on our analysis of the verified reviews of SMS marketing software in the last year on Capterra, 30% of software users are from small to midsize businesses having 11-200 employees, and 12% of buyers are from enterprise-grade companies having over 200 employees. This software is used in several industries such as health, wellness, and fitness; information technology; retail; and a mix of several other industries.

## Common SMS marketing software integrations

We analyzed our extensive reviews database, and based on that, we determined the three software categories that most often integrate with SMS marketing tools are: 

-   [CRM software](https://www.capterra.com/customer-relationship-management-software/): Integrating your SMS marketing platform with a CRM gives your marketers access to prospect data, buying history, and other important information, which can help inform marketing decisions.
    
-   [Email marketing software](https://www.capterra.com/email-marketing-software/): When you integrate your SMS marketing tool with email marketing software, cross-promotional campaigns become an option, offering incentives for subscribers to use both channels.
    
-   [Website builder software](https://www.capterra.com/website-builder-software/): Drive more traffic to your website when you integrate SMS marketing tools with website builder software by linking to a product listing in an SMS.
    

## Recent trends in SMS marketing technology

**Increasing usage of GenAI in SMS marketing campaigns:** According to Gartner’s 2023 TSP Generative AI Survey, 100% of technology provider leaders say they are utilizing or will be utilizing text-based GenAI in the future. Text-based channels, such as SMS and mobile messaging, could leverage GenAI to provide text copy versions for A/B testing as well as during actual customer conversations to respond to customer questions.\[[6](#sources)\]

**Growing prominence of two-way messaging:** Two-way customer communication programs such as Walmart’s “Text to Shop” enable real-time interactions that help customers complete purchases. With Walmart’s program, consumers can ask what products are in stock and directly add them to their cart via text. The program also links to customers’ Walmart accounts so they can easily reorder items they often run out of, by texting “reorder.” This conversational commerce shows how businesses can leverage their SMS marketing tool’s interactive features to shorten the time to buy and boost sales.\[[6](#sources)\]
