Where they pull apart

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.

Not the right fit for

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

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.

Not the right fit for

Agencies that need a shared TA inbox on Bullhorn
People who want a $299 TextUs-style published floor
Teams that need an ATS of record
