How SendMate compares to other Agent Legend alternatives
Texting Betty, Lead Engage, CallAction, and SendHub skip the big setup fee — but they still run in the cloud on a number they control. SendMate is the local-first option: it runs on your own Mac or Windows machine and texts from your own Follow Up Boss number, with no setup fee and no per-contact charges.

Will my Follow Up Boss Action Plans still work after I switch?
Yes. SendMate is a quiet ISA working your FUB list for you. It watches the notes your Action Plans drop and sends each text from your own FUB number. No rebuild: flip the Text Source toggle and your ISA is on duty.
Your SendMate ISA sends each text on the day your Action Plan calls for it, during your Send Window — not queued to a precise second. For a typical FUB drip cadence the outcome is the same as a scheduled service.
How do I switch from Agent Legend to SendMate?
In four steps, usually under 15 minutes: cancel or pause Agent Legend, install SendMate, flip your FUB Text Source toggle, and your SendMate ISA takes over your existing Action Plans.

What Agent Legend costs at real volume
Agent Legend meters "contacts nurtured" rather than messages, and each tier has an AI toggle that roughly doubles the monthly price. Contacts beyond your allotment bill at $0.50 each in arrears, so a large campaign's cost is not fully known upfront. SendMate Founders is flat at $49/mo with no contact metering.
| Agent Legend plan | Traditional | AI-powered | Included | Beyond that |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $199 | $399 | 250 contacts/mo · 1 seat | $0.50 / contact |
| Grow | $299 | $599 | 500 contacts/mo · 12-mo term | $0.50 / contact |
| Professional | $499 | $899 | 1,000 contacts/mo · 12-mo term | $0.50 / contact |
| SendMate Founders | $49 | included | 3,000 texts per user | no per-contact fee |

The costs that are not on the pricing page
- A one-time activation fee of $299 to $599 on top of the monthly price, so first-month cost is higher than the sticker.
- The AI toggle roughly doubles the monthly price and raises the activation fee.
- Billing is per contact nurtured, at $0.50 for each contact beyond the allotment, billed in arrears.
- Grow and Professional require a 12-month commitment.
Where Agent Legend is genuinely stronger
Lily, Agent Legend's AI database analyst, scores your whole database nightly and is included on every plan. That is a substantial inclusion, not a trial feature. Agent Legend is also genuinely multi-channel across SMS, email and ringless voicemail. If you want that breadth, it is a different and broader product than SendMate.
Who should stay on Agent Legend
If nightly database scoring and multi-channel sequences are what you are buying, Agent Legend delivers things SendMate does not build. SendMate is texting only, flat-priced, sent from your own Follow Up Boss number, with no activation fee and no annual commitment. The per-contact math only matters once you have decided you want the narrower tool.
