The per-text fees are the part nobody quotes you
The sticker price is $149/mo. The bill is higher. At $0.08–$0.10 per text, one busy month — 1,000 extra follow-ups across your database — adds $80–$100 on top. SendMate is $49/mo flat: those same 1,000 texts cost you nothing extra.
How SendMate compares to other Texting Betty alternatives
Lead Engage, CallAction, and SendHub each solve part of the problem — but they run as cloud services that text your leads from a number they control. SendMate is the local-first option: it runs on your own Mac or Windows machine and sends from your own Follow Up Boss number, the only number your leads already recognize. No separate line, no per-text surprise.
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 Texting Betty to SendMate?
In four steps, usually under 15 minutes: cancel or pause Texting Betty, install SendMate, flip your FUB Text Source toggle, and your SendMate ISA takes over your existing Action Plans.

Your ISA takes over
Your existing notes keep dropping. Your SendMate ISA sends them same-day during your Send Window.
Why Follow Up Boss needs a texting tool at all
Follow Up Boss doesn't include drip or mass texting on purpose — it protects your number's sending reputation. So agents add a partner. Texting Betty fills the gap with a separate Twilio number; SendMate fills it from your own FUB number with 10DLC handled — so the texts come from the number your leads know, and your conversation history stays in FUB where you own it.
