The right SimpleTexting alternative depends on which job is falling short. If you want the same credit based texting with a Shopify connection and unlimited users, SlickText is the closest like for like option, and it says it will match SimpleTexting standard plan prices ( SlickText pricing ). If you want texts and email driven by the same Shopify data, an ecommerce suite such as Privy, Omnisend Pro or Klaviyo is the move, at the cost of a different billing model. If the problem is that replies to cart reminders and promotions need someone who can see the cart, that is a conversation job, which Zobi takes over alongside whichever broadcast tool you keep. Before switching, check what happens to your number, your consent records, your rollover credits and your automations, and agree the cutover steps with both providers.
