VERDICT

Should I use Textellent?

Business Texting & Text Message Marketing - textellent.com

Depends. Buy if you run a service business — tax, home services, legal, healthcare, or a franchise — and text clients daily; payments and 10DLC compliance are built in. Pass if you text lightly or want the cheapest route: $59/mo entry and recently announced pricing changes make it overkill.
