Migrate your Textedly data
SMS marketing platform for US-based businesses sending bulk texts, running keyword opt-ins, and two-way conversations. Simple interface, per-message pricing, and a 14-day free trial with no contact limits.
In its favor
Why people choose Textedly
The signal that keeps Textedly on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Users cite the cross-device interface — accessible from desktop, phone, and iPad — as the primary reason they stick with Textedly for bulk SMS.
The 14-day free trial with no credit card required gives teams a low-risk way to validate the platform before committing to a paid tier.
Bulk upload via CSV with a downloadable template (Phone, First Name, Last Name, Email, Address, City, State, ZIP, Company Name, Tags, Birth Date) makes list onboarding straightforward once on a paid plan.
Keyword-based opt-in campaigns and auto-responders are straightforward to configure, giving small teams a hands-off SMS onboarding flow without developer involvement.
Customer support receives consistent praise across G2 and Capterra reviews, with multiple users reporting connection times under two minutes for real humans.
Pricing escalates as contact lists grow, with multiple reviews noting that costs become prohibitive at scale and rate increases arrive without warning.
Keyword functionality is described as limited and frustrating, particularly for businesses requiring multiple custom keywords or complex opt-in logic.
Analytics are described as basic — delivery timestamps and activity counts are available, but meaningful campaign insights are lacking.
Contact editing in the UI is reported as more difficult than expected, making bulk corrections time-consuming for large lists.
The platform flags phone numbers without notifying the user, requiring proactive test-message monitoring to catch suppressed or blocked numbers.

Pricing tiers
Textedly pricing overview
Textedly uses per-message pricing across 13 published tiers from $26 to $2,999 per month. Annual billing provides 20% more messages for the same monthly commitment but does not reduce the base price. No free plan exists after the trial; contact limits are not enforced but message volume drives cost at every tier.

What gets migrated
Textedly object support
Object-by-object support for Textedly migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Subscribers
Fully supportedSubscribers are the primary object. We export all standard fields: Phone, First Name, Last Name, Email, Address, City, State, ZIP, Company Name, Tags, and Birth Date. The full list including subscribed and unsubscribed statuses is available via CSV export. We map the contact status field to the destination's equivalent opt-in flag.
Groups
Fully supportedGroups segment subscribers for targeted campaigns. We preserve group membership as tags on each contact record during migration. No group hierarchy exists in Textedly — groups are flat lists.
Tags
Fully supportedTags are free-form labels applied to subscribers. They export as a comma-separated field in the CSV. We parse them into an array and map them to the destination's tagging schema.
Keywords
Mapping requiredKeywords trigger opt-in flows and are tied to short codes. We export keyword-to-autoresponder mappings as workflow records. Multiple keywords pointing to the same list must be reconciled if the destination uses a different short code model.
Auto-Responders
Mapping requiredAuto-responders are triggered by keywords or time-based rules. We export them as automation rules with conditions, message bodies, and delays. Complex branching logic may require manual review at the destination.
Drip Campaigns / Sequences
Mapping requiredDrip sequences are time-based automated message chains. We export step order, delay intervals, and message content as structured workflow data. Nested or conditional drip logic maps to the destination's equivalent automation builder.
Personalization Fields
Mapping requiredPersonalization tokens (first name, email, location, and custom fields) are inserted at send time. We export the contact fields that feed personalization and map them to the destination's available merge field syntax.
Campaigns
Mapping requiredCampaigns aggregate sent messages, delivery receipts, and response logs. We export campaign metadata and aggregate delivery stats per subscriber. MMS media references are preserved as URLs where Textedly hosts them.
Users / Team Members
Mapping requiredUsers are assigned roles and can be owners of campaigns or contacts. We export user accounts and role assignments, but destination platforms map roles differently — an explicit role-mapping step is required.
Phone Numbers / Short Codes
Not in this platformPhone numbers and short codes are carrier-assigned and non-transferable. They do not migrate between platforms. We export number metadata (type, assigned date) as a reference record but do not transfer the numbers themselves.
Webforms
Mapping requiredWebforms capture new subscribers and are tied to specific keyword flows. We export form field configurations and the associated keyword association, though form hosting URLs are platform-specific and need rebuilding at the destination.
Payments (Text-to-Pay)
Not in this platformText-to-Pay transactions are Stripe-integrated and live within Stripe's system. Historical payment records, invoice history, and payment status data are not accessible via Textedly export and must be pulled directly from Stripe.
Analytics / Reporting
Mapping requiredAnalytics include delivery timestamps, open/click activity, and subscriber growth metrics. We export available reporting data as structured records. Advanced attribution or cohort analysis requires the destination's own reporting tools.
