Where they pull apart

Heymarket

Stands out: Published per-user prices, a shared inbox with phone numbers per user, and SMS, email, WhatsApp and RCS in one place.

Watch out: Messages cost extra through credit bundles (1,000 credits is $30/mo), 10DLC compliance adds $10/mo per campaign, and the API starts on Pro.

Not the right fit for

Solo users, since two seats are the minimum
Teams that want API access on the cheapest plan

Textellent

Stands out: Positioned as business SMS with campaigns, scheduling, and two-way inboxes rather than recruiting-only.

Watch out: Every plan adds a one-time $49 activation fee. Standard is $99/mo annually ($119 monthly). Custom rollouts are quoted.

Not the right fit for

TA teams that need ATS-native recruiting SMS
Buyers who want a plan without an activation fee
