Where they pull apart

TextUs

Stands out: A real $299 floor for TA texting, with Bullhorn, Workday, Greenhouse, Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier named.

Watch out: Pro is $299/mo. WhatsApp is +$29/user (beta). Overage is $0.02/message.

Not the right fit for

  • Solo operators who need a sub-$299 plan
  • Teams that will not SMS candidates
  • People who need a full talent CRM (Sense)

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
