Switching from Street Text
Paying for an ad platform when you just want the texts?
Yes — especially if you want texts going out from your own number. SendMate is standalone texting at a flat $49/mo Founders with no per-message fees, versus Street Text's Conversations at $69/mo standalone (or $49/mo bundled with a $79–$249/mo ad plan), always from a new StreetText number. Keep your own lead sources; SendMate sends from your own Follow Up Boss number.
Street Text's texting product — Conversations — is $69/mo standalone, or $49/mo as an add-on to a $79–$249/mo Facebook ad plan, and it always sends from a new StreetText number. If you took the ad plan just to get the texting, you're paying for a platform you don't need. SendMate is texting, standalone — starting at $49/mo Founders. Think of it as your digital ISA, quietly working your FUB list from your own FUB number.
Conversations standalone is $69/mo vs SendMate Founders $49/mo flat. 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're already running your own lead gen (Facebook, Google, SOI).

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 Street Text's lead-gen if you want it; drop the Conversations texting piece to avoid double-sending.
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
Street Text routes through their number — meaning if you leave, your lead conversations go with them. SendMate sends through your own FUB number. Your history stays in FUB, where you own it. No hostage-taking.
Switcher FAQ
What about auto-stop-on-reply?
Preserved in SendMate. When a lead replies, your pending texts cancel automatically — same behavior you're used to.
Emoji reactions on notes?
Not today. If that's important, tell us — it's on the roadmap page.
Will my Facebook-ad leads still flow through?
Yes — FUB still imports them. SendMate sits on top of FUB, it doesn't replace your lead sources.
