Overview
Text Request is a shared inbox for business SMS. Teams send and receive texts from a business number in a web dashboard, so staff do not use personal phones. Basic is $59.99/mo with 1,000 texts and one dashboard. Starter is $145/mo with 2,500 texts and two dashboards, Corporate is $295/mo with 6,500 texts, and Enterprise is $575/mo with 20,000 texts and ten dashboards.
Teams pick Text Request when they want a published texting price and no per-seat charge. Every plan allows unlimited users and contacts, and there are no contracts. Basic starts at $59.99/mo, with extra texts billed per message. Third-party integrations start on Starter, and API access is an Enterprise feature. New customers sometimes get a promotional discount on the lower tiers.
