Sense
Stands out: SMS as the primary channel rather than an afterthought bolted onto email.
Watch out: Packages start at $500 a month, and it is the wrong shape for executive or professional search.
Not the right fit for
Trumpia
Stands out: Bulk and 1:1 MMS/SMS for HR outreach: a marketing-texting platform recruiters also use, not a dedicated TA inbox like TextUs.
Watch out: The vendor does not publish a pricing grid. Zapier is named. Do not budget a $29 TA inbox; this is a quoted messaging platform.
