Where they pull apart

Keeyora

Stands out: SmartDraft writes texts in your voice, and you can message from any webpage with a dedicated number.

Watch out: There is no public rate card. You still need an ATS to import candidates in one click.

Not the right fit for

  • Shops that want a published per-seat SMS price
  • Teams with no ATS to import from

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
