TextMagic review and pricing

European SMS with non-US carrier coverage.

By TextMagic Ltd. · Founded 2001 · London, United Kingdom · private

TextMagic is the European-headquartered SMS platform with the strongest UK and EU carrier coverage among the players in this list. Operating since 2001, it remains the default choice for European SMB senders where US-centric tools struggle with non-US delivery rates, EUR or GBP-native billing, or GDPR data residency. The product is pay-as-you-go on credits with no monthly commitment, which is a different pricing model from most US-focused players. Best fit: European SMB senders, US firms with significant European customer bases, or anyone who wants per-message credit pricing without a monthly subscription floor.
