Agent Legend vs StreetText: Which Fits Your Follow Up Boss Team? (2026)

Published July 18, 2026 · Last updated: July 18, 2026

Short answer: these two solve different problems. Agent Legend is a multi-channel outreach platform — SMS, email, and ringless voicemail with nightly AI database scoring — from $199/mo plus a $299–$599 activation fee, metered per contact. StreetText is a Facebook/Instagram lead-generation platform whose texting product, Conversations, is $69/mo standalone with the "Julie" AI assistant included. The real choice is outreach breadth vs lead generation with texting attached.

Both names come up when Follow Up Boss teams shop for texting automation, so this is an honest head-to-head. Full disclosure: we make SendMate, a third option that appears only at the end, trade-offs stated plainly. Figures were checked against each vendor's published pages July 1, 2026, and can change — Agent Legend lists its plans as "Coming Soon," so treat those as provisional.

What Each Tool Actually Is

Agent Legend is multi-channel follow-up: automated campaigns across SMS, email, and ringless voicemail, with "Lily," an AI database analyst that scores your whole database nightly, included on every plan.

StreetText is first a lead-generation platform: its core plans ($79–$249/mo) buy Facebook/Instagram ad tooling, with Meta ad spend billed separately by Meta. Texting is a separate product — Conversations by StreetText, Julie AI included — available standalone, no ad plan required.

Pricing Side by Side

Texting-focused entry points for a Follow Up Boss agent:

Agent Legend (Starter)StreetText (Conversations)
Monthly$199 Traditional · $399 with the AI-Powered toggle$69 standalone · $49 as an ad-plan add-on ($39 annual)
Included250 contacts/mo · Lily AI scoring · 1 seatJulie AI texting + Follow Up Boss integration
Metering$0.50 per extra "contact nurtured," billed in arrearsPer-message rate not published
Setup$299 activation ($299–$599 by plan and mode)None standalone; $500 on Pro/Scale ad plans, waived on annual
ContractStarter month-to-month; Grow and Professional require 12 monthsAnnual discounts mean paying the year upfront

Both scale up. Agent Legend: Grow $299/mo (500 contacts) and Professional $499/mo (1,000) in Traditional mode, $599–$899/mo with the AI toggle, plus $0.08/record database enrichment. StreetText's ad plans: Grow $79/mo, Pro $159/mo, Scale $249/mo, cheaper paid annually. Full breakdowns: Agent Legend pricing and StreetText pricing.

Metering matters more than stickers. Agent Legend bills per "contact nurtured" — any contact who gets at least one automated message that month — in arrears, so a big campaign's cost isn't known upfront. StreetText publishes no per-message rate for Conversations — ask what your volume costs before committing. More in our 2026 cost guide.

How Each Connects to Follow Up Boss

StreetText is note-based. It reads the bracket-tag commands your Follow Up Boss Action Plans drop as notes — [scheduled], delays like [2h], specific times, a family of cancel tags — so your existing Action Plans stay the automation layer (full vocabulary in our bracket-tag glossary).

Agent Legend runs its own pipeline. It connects to Follow Up Boss as a CRM integration but doesn't drop bracket-tagged notes — campaigns are built inside Agent Legend during the paid activation, which it says covers CRM connection, data enrichment, and initial campaign builds.

The Number Question

Neither texts from your own Follow Up Boss number. StreetText creates a new StreetText number — its own FAQ says FUB won't allow porting a number in — and US senders complete A2P/10DLC (EIN) registration during setup. Agent Legend routes through a number it assigns.

Where Agent Legend Wins

  • True multi-channel. SMS, email, and ringless voicemail from one platform — the only tool in this pair that reaches beyond texting.
  • Lily on every plan. Nightly AI scoring of your whole database is included even on Starter — a genuinely substantial inclusion.
  • A conversational-AI path. The AI-Powered toggle adds two-way AI — it roughly doubles the price, but the option is there.
  • Hands-on start. The activation fee buys real setup work: CRM connection, data enrichment, and initial campaigns built for you.

Where StreetText Wins

  • Entry price. Conversations at $69/mo standalone is a fraction of Agent Legend's $199-plus-activation start.
  • No activation fee on standalone texting. The $500 setup applies only to Pro/Scale ad plans — waived on annual billing.
  • Julie AI included. No price-doubling toggle to unlock the AI assistant.
  • Your Action Plans stay in charge. Note-based bracket tags keep automation inside Follow Up Boss.
  • Lead generation under the same roof. Buying Facebook/Instagram ads anyway? One vendor covers the funnel from ad to text.

Compliance Features

StreetText's tags give day-to-day control: [scheduled] keeps sends inside business hours, pending texts cancel automatically when a lead replies, and eight cancel-tag variants pull a contact out of a sequence. Neither vendor publishes DNC or litigator screening — if that matters to your team, see our DNC and litigator screening overview.

How to Choose

  • Choose Agent Legend if you want one platform running SMS, email, and ringless voicemail, you value nightly database scoring, and will trade an activation fee and per-contact billing for a hands-on, multi-channel setup.
  • Choose StreetText if you're already buying Facebook/Instagram lead generation — or you want the cheaper, note-based way to add texting, with Julie included and your Action Plans in charge.
  • Budget-certainty check, both ways: Agent Legend's meter bills in arrears; StreetText's per-message rate isn't published. Ask each vendor what your expected volume costs.

A Third Option: SendMate (Ours, With Its Own Trade-Offs)

Full disclosure again — SendMate is our product. It exists for one gap both tools above leave open: texting your Follow Up Boss list from your own FUB number, at a flat price. SendMate is $49/mo for Founders (first 100 customers, rate locked; standard Pro is $149/mo) — no activation fee, no per-contact or per-message metering. It's a local-first desktop app for Mac and Windows: your contacts and messages stay on your machine, you set the send window and review the messages, and replies land natively in FUB.

The trade-offs, stated plainly: SendMate does one job. No ad platform, no ringless voicemail, no email campaigns, no AI that converses for you — if multi-channel outreach is the goal, Agent Legend fits better; if you want lead gen plus texting from one vendor, that's StreetText's home turf. Migration note: SendMate reads the bracket-tag notes StreetText Action Plans already drop, so that switch keeps your plans; Agent Legend runs its own pipeline, so that switch starts from SendMate's ready-made templates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the price difference between Agent Legend and StreetText? Agent Legend's Starter plan is $199/mo in Traditional mode ($399/mo with the AI-Powered toggle), plus a one-time activation fee ($299 in Traditional mode, $399 with the AI toggle) and $0.50 per extra contact nurtured. StreetText's Conversations texting is $69/mo standalone or $49/mo as an add-on to a $79–$249/mo ad plan, with no published per-message rate.

Does Agent Legend or StreetText text from my own Follow Up Boss number? No — neither does. Agent Legend routes your outreach through a number it assigns. StreetText creates a new StreetText number: its own FAQ says Follow Up Boss won't allow porting a number in, and US senders complete A2P/10DLC (EIN) registration on that new line as part of setup.

How does each tool connect to Follow Up Boss? Differently. StreetText is note-based — it reads the bracket-tag commands your Follow Up Boss Action Plans drop, so your existing plans stay the automation layer. Agent Legend connects to Follow Up Boss but runs its own campaign pipeline, built during the paid activation, without dropping bracket-tagged notes into your account.
