MightyText vs TextBox

MightyText lets users send and receive SMS and MMS on a computer or tablet through their existing Android phone number. Messages sync with the phone’s SMS inbox, and computer notifications can show alerts from phone apps and let users dismiss them. The service also syncs photos and videos from a phone for computer or tablet access and one-click sharing. Users can schedule messages, and the GText Chrome extension enables SMS from Gmail on a computer using the Android number. Other listed tools include call notifications, phone battery alerts, sending webpages and files to a phone, templates, and SMS email sync and backup. Pro adds drafts, labels, contact lists, message restoration to a new phone, and message storage without time limits. It also removes the sending limit, supports bulk SMS to 25 people at a time, and includes 100 GB for photos and videos. The Free plan costs nothing and caps use at 15 messages/month. MightyText Pro costs $7.49 a month, billed at $7.49/month or $89.99 per year. SMS and MMS travel through the user’s phone and carrier, which may charge messaging fees.

TextBox provides two-way business texting through an existing business-owned landline, VoIP, or toll-free number. Teams can share one number in a common inbox, add internal comments, and send one-to-one or small-group messages, including pictures and PDFs. Messaging tools include templates, timed auto-replies, scheduled messages, and reminders. Plans include unlimited contacts, with tags, notes, and searchable message history. TextBox offers API access and a Zapier integration described as connecting to over 9,000 apps, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Calendar, and Slack. It handles 10DLC registration and built-in STOP opt-out processing. Setup includes phone ownership verification and an electronic Letter of Authorization, followed by carrier campaign registration. Domestic US texting is supported; international texting is described as on the roadmap. TextBox has Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows platforms. It was founded in 1994 and is headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida.
