EZTexting is one of the most widely recognized names in SMS marketing for small businesses. SmartBlaster is built for high-volume direct marketing. If you're considering both, you're probably at a scale where EZTexting is starting to feel limiting. Here's a direct comparison.
Volume Capacity
EZTexting's plans are designed for small business use cases — their highest standard plans cap at relatively modest monthly message volumes. For businesses needing to send tens of thousands of messages in a single campaign, this becomes a bottleneck requiring plan upgrades or campaign spreading across multiple days.
SmartBlaster offers bulk campaign packages specifically designed for high-volume one-time sends — the kind of blast-style campaigns that direct marketers run. No artificial daily limits that force you to spread a campaign across a week.
Pricing Structure
EZTexting charges a monthly subscription that includes a credits allotment. This model works well for steady-state SMS (a consistent number of messages every month), but creates overage costs for campaigns that spike above the baseline.
SmartBlaster uses a campaign package model: you buy a block of sends for a flat price. For businesses that run periodic high-volume campaigns rather than constant drip sends, this is significantly more cost-effective.
Calculate your total annual cost, not just your monthly rate. If you run 4 large campaigns per year and then go quiet, a per-campaign pricing model will almost always beat a fixed monthly subscription.
Multi-Channel Capability
EZTexting is SMS-focused. SmartBlaster combines SMS, email blasts, and telemarketing in one platform. If you're running multi-channel direct marketing campaigns, managing three separate tools adds cost and complexity. SmartBlaster's integration of all three channels in one platform is a significant operational advantage.
Use Case Fit
EZTexting is the right choice if you're a small business building an SMS subscriber list for ongoing marketing, want a polished self-service interface, and don't need multi-channel capabilities.
SmartBlaster is the right choice if you're running high-volume campaigns, need SMS combined with email and calling, want predictable flat-rate pricing, and have an experienced direct marketing team.
