Call Loop vs Textmagic

Call Loop is a web platform for sending personalized SMS, ringless voicemail and automated calls. SMS tools include bulk messaging, MMS, scheduled texts, contact segmentation, text-to-join keywords and personalization. Voice broadcasts can be scheduled, select caller ID, detect live answers or answering machines, and transfer recipients to an agent when they press 1. Ringless voicemail delivers audio messages to voicemail without ringing the phone. Drip campaigns can combine these channels with delay timers and custom date scheduling. Integrations listed include ActiveCampaign, AWeber, Constant Contact, MailChimp, Zapier, HubSpot, Keap, ClickFunnels and webinar platforms. Call Loop describes its service as HIPAA-compliant for healthcare providers and business partners; it also states that accounts use 256-bit SSL and are backed up daily. The 14-day trial includes full feature access, 25 credits and a demo keyword without requiring a credit card. The FAQ says the account upgrades automatically to a $25/mo plan after the trial unless canceled. Plans start at $15 a month for 250 credits. One credit covers a 160-character SMS or 60 seconds of voice broadcasting; ringless voicemail costs two credits. SMS and voice broadcasting availability is limited to US and Canadian numbers.
