4 tools our write-ups put next to Trumpia, with starting price, free tier, MCP and API side by side.

Trumpia from Quote-based

The short answer

  • TextUs : Shared TA inbox with a public $299 floor if you want recruiting-native SMS. From $299/mo
  • Sense : Talent CRM plus texting if nurture and rediscovery are the job. From Quote-based
  • Heymarket : Shared SMS if Trumpia's MMS platform is overkill. From $20/user/mo
  • Keeyora : SMS on top of the ATS if you do not want a parallel messaging vendor. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past Trumpia

The vendor does not publish a pricing grid. Zapier is named. Do not budget a $29 TA inbox; this is a quoted messaging platform.

What we noted

  • No published pricing grid
  • Not a dedicated TA shared inbox
  • ATS connectors need a sales confirmation

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

Worth keeping in mind: Bulk and 1:1 MMS/SMS for HR outreach: a marketing-texting platform recruiters also use, not a dedicated TA inbox like TextUs.

What each one does differently

TextUs

$299/mo API

Why it comes up: Shared TA inbox with a public $299 floor if you want recruiting-native SMS.

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.

Best for

  • TA and staffing teams that text as the channel
  • Bullhorn, Workday, or Greenhouse shops
  • Shared inboxes that need local numbers

Sense

Quote-based API

Why it comes up: Talent CRM plus texting if nurture and rediscovery are the job.

Stands out: SMS as the primary channel rather than an afterthought bolted onto email.

Watch out: No published price, and it is the wrong shape for executive or professional search.

Best for

  • Hourly and high-volume talent teams
  • Teams nurturing past applicants over SMS
  • Enterprise desks re-engaging their own database

Heymarket

$20/user/mo API

Why it comes up: Shared SMS if Trumpia's MMS platform is overkill.

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.

Best for

  • Support and sales teams texting from one inbox
  • Recruiters who need a shared number for candidates
  • Teams that want HubSpot sync on the entry plan

Keeyora

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: SMS on top of the ATS if you do not want a parallel messaging vendor.

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.

Best for

  • TA teams texting from Greenhouse or similar ATS
  • Recruiters who want AI drafts without sending unattended
  • HR sending interview reminders and onboarding texts
