Frequently asked questions
How is SlickText priced and what is included in a plan?
Plans are credit-based and priced by monthly message volume, starting at $29/month for 500 credits and scaling to $939/month for 50,000 credits, with custom enterprise quotes above that. Unlimited contacts, free incoming texts, rollover credits, and every feature including integrations and Workflows are included on paid plans, so features are not gated by tier. Annual billing adds two free months of credits, and carrier per-message fees are passed through at no markup.
How long does it take to get live with SlickText?
There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. SlickText says it works closely with wireless carriers so sending numbers are often registered within a few hours of request, across 10DLC, toll-free, short code, or RCS options. Plans starting at $129 include a 1-on-1 onboarding session with an in-house expert who covers compliance setup, list growth, and a messaging plan built around your goals.
Does SlickText handle two-way conversations and team collaboration?
Yes. The conversational inbox blends support-style tooling with texting: incoming messages can be routed to different team members, staff can collaborate on a single conversation, and interactions can be organized with tags and statuses. Custom inbox rules and behaviors can be set at every level, and additional team members can be added to the account at no per-seat charge.
What integrations and API access are available?
SlickText publishes native integrations with HubSpot, Shopify, Salesforce, Slack, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact, Keap, Meta, Pinterest, and more, and connects to thousands of other tools through Zapier and Make. The team also offers a fully featured REST API, webhooks for real-time event data, and custom engineering support if your platform exposes an API.
Which countries can I send messages to?
SlickText currently supports SMS messaging in the United States and Canada only. Campaigns can be created, scheduled, and sent to phone numbers in both countries. Buyers with international messaging requirements should treat this as a hard constraint and evaluate a separate provider for other regions.
What support is included, and at what plan level?
Support specialists are reachable by phone, chat, and email during business hours (8:30-6PM ET weekdays), and there is a self-serve help center. Paid plans list live phone, chat, and email support alongside 1-on-1 onboarding, while a dedicated Customer Success Manager is included at 50,000 credits and above for ongoing strategy and performance monitoring.
