StreetText Alternative · Follow Up Boss
The StreetText alternative for agents who just want the texting
Yes — SendMate is a standalone StreetText alternative for Follow Up Boss. It's flat $49/mo Founders with no per-message fees, versus StreetText's Conversations texting at $69/mo standalone (or $49/mo as an add-on to its $79–$249/mo ad plans), always from a new StreetText number. SendMate is texting only, sent from your own FUB number, running locally on your computer.
StreetText is a Facebook/Instagram lead-generation platform whose texting product, Conversations, is $69/mo standalone or $49/mo as an ad-plan add-on — always from a new StreetText number, never your Follow Up Boss line. If you already have your leads, you don't need the ad platform — you just need the texting. SendMate is texting, standalone, at $49/mo Founders — a digital ISA working your FUB list from your own number.
Conversations standalone is $69/mo vs SendMate Founders $49/mo flat. If you're carrying a $79–$249/mo ad plan you don't need just for the $49/mo add-on rate, dropping the bundle saves up to $249/mo.
Is SendMate cheaper than Street Text in 2026?
Yes. SendMate is a flat $49/mo Founders with no per-text fees — Street Text starts higher and stacks usage fees on top. Assuming you already run your own lead gen.

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 Street Text to SendMate?
In four steps, usually under 15 minutes: cancel or pause Street Text, install SendMate, flip your FUB Text Source toggle, and your SendMate ISA takes over your existing Action Plans.
Drop the texting add-on
Keep StreetText's lead gen if you want it; drop the texting piece so leads don't get double-texted during the switch.
Install SendMate
Mac or Windows app, FUB login. ~3 minutes.
Switch Text Source
Settings → FUB Settings → Text Source → "Notes Only".
Your ISA takes over
Your existing notes keep dropping. Your SendMate ISA sends them same-day during your Send Window.
Your texts send from your number, not theirs
StreetText routes through its own number and runs in the cloud. SendMate sends through your own FUB number and is local-first — your contacts, notes, and history stay with you, in Follow Up Boss.
Switcher FAQ
Is SendMate a good StreetText alternative?
Yes — if you want the texting without the lead-gen bundle. SendMate is standalone texting at a flat $49/mo Founders with no per-message fees, sent from your own FUB number.
Will my Facebook-ad leads still flow in?
Yes. Follow Up Boss still imports them. SendMate sits on top of FUB — it doesn't replace your lead sources.
Does auto-stop-on-reply still work?
Yes. When a lead replies, your pending texts cancel automatically — the behavior you're used to.
Is SendMate affiliated with Follow Up Boss?
No. SendMate is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by Follow Up Boss. "Follow Up Boss" is a trademark of its respective owner.
What StreetText costs at real volume
StreetText is primarily a Facebook and Instagram lead-generation platform. Texting is a separate product called Conversations, sold standalone or as an add-on to an ad plan. The ad subscription buys lead generation, not texting. SendMate Founders is flat at $49/mo and texting is the whole product.
| StreetText plan | Monthly | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Grow (ads) | $79 ($59 annual) | FB/IG lead ads + FUB integration — texting NOT included |
| Pro (ads) | $159 ($129 annual) | + remarketing, AI Ad Remix — texting is an add-on |
| Scale (ads) | $249 ($199 annual) | + LeadReveal, unlimited ads — texting is an add-on |
| Conversations (texting) | $69 standalone · $49 add-on | The actual texting product |
| SendMate Founders | $49 | Texting, from your own FUB number |

The costs that are not on the pricing page
- Texting is a separate product: $69/mo standalone or $49/mo added to an ad plan, on top of the $79–$249 ad subscription.
- StreetText does not use your Follow Up Boss number — its own FAQ says Follow Up Boss will not let it port one, so leads see an unfamiliar line.
- US senders must complete A2P/10DLC registration, and StreetText notes delivery rates decline until that is done.
- A $500 setup add-on applies on some plans.
Where StreetText is genuinely stronger
The Julie AI assistant is included with Conversations at no extra AI fee. More importantly, if you actually want Facebook and Instagram lead generation, that is a genuinely different product from texting and SendMate does not compete with it at all. StreetText generates leads; SendMate follows up with the ones you already have.
Who should stay on StreetText
If your primary need is generating new leads from Meta ads, stay. The texting add-on is a reasonable convenience alongside it. Switch to SendMate when what you actually want is the follow-up itself, sent from your own Follow Up Boss number rather than an unfamiliar one, without buying an ad platform to get it.
