Where they pull apart

Aloware

Stands out: HubSpot/Salesforce-native calling and SMS with a 3-user package at $199/mo if you cannot hit the 10-seat Core floor.

Watch out: Core is $30/user (min 10). AloAi analytics is extra credits.

Not the right fit for

Solo operators (Core has a 10-user minimum)
International calling as the centre (use CloudTalk)
People who want a CRM included

TextRequest

Stands out: Unlimited users and contacts on every plan, with published monthly prices.

Watch out: Basic includes 1,000 texts, and extra texts cost more. API access sits on Enterprise ($575/mo), not on the entry plans.

Recruiting teams that need texting inside an ATS
Developers who need API access on a small plan
