Text-Em-All (formerly Call-Em-All) vs TextSpeak NOTIFY!

Text-Em-All is a messaging platform for businesses and organizations sending texts and voice broadcasts to opted-in contacts. It supports two-way conversations, automated messages, scheduled broadcasts, personalization tags, keyword automation, real-time analytics, and carrier registration. Voice broadcasts can be sent alongside SMS or instead of it. The iOS and Android apps handle replies, conversation management, and new texts to up to 15 people; mass broadcasts are sent from the web app. Its free Starter plan includes 25 credits for testing voice broadcasts and texting your own number, but mass texting requires an upgrade. Monthly pricing depends on the number of unique people messaged and starts at $19 a month for 1–50 people. Recipients must consent to messages, promotional messages require express written consent, and political solicitation is not allowed. The company says the service is not HIPAA compliant because messages are not encrypted at rest and standard SMS cannot be encrypted in transit. Integration options include staffing and church platforms, Zapier, viaSocket, and a REST API intended for high-volume messaging above 50,000 messages per month.

TextSpeak NOTIFY! is a mass-notification system for sending alerts and voice announcements. It can deliver messages by SMS, phone call, email, desktop alert and high-definition audio announcement. Administrators can configure destinations such as TextSpeak device amplifiers, SMS recipients and phone calls. From the mobile app, users can type or select a message for real-time voice announcements on chosen TextSpeak hardware. The emergency screen includes a one-click message, and the main screen has four preprogrammed red message buttons. The system supports multiple locations and command centers; optional interfaces connect digital sensors, fire panels, panic buttons and wearable Bluetooth pendants. Its applications and amplifiers support nine concurrent text-to-speech languages and 25 voices, but do not translate between languages. Announcements can use Ethernet or LTE-M1 cellular, including during power loss, according to the maker. The maker says its online Wizard can set up e-Alert notifications in about 20 minutes. NOTIFY! runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows. Pricing starts at $3,999, and a 60-day trial is offered.
