Independent ranking. Every app here is scored the same way. Nobody can pay to rank higher. Free matters. If the best parts are locked behind a paywall, the score goes down. Every number comes from the vendor's own pricing or help page, checked 5 September 2026. The cost row assumes 1,500 outgoing texts a month (about 300 people, 5 texts each) on the cheapest published plan plus extra-text charges. Prices change; we recheck every quarter.
