Textedly Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate Textedly's very easy-to-understand interface once I got used to it. This simplicity helps my nonprofit organization efficiently manage communication with around 1,200 members of our faith-based community. It allows us to contact our council members quickly, facilitating sign-ups through platforms like Sign Up Genius, and effectively distributing posters, event details, and emergency information. Additionally, the setup process was quite straightforward, as we were able to transfer a list of names and numbers from our database, although some hurdles were present due to home phone numbers not working for texting. The customer service was commendable, providing helpful assistance throughout the setup process. Overall, we've been using Textedly for three to four years and have been very happy with it, giving it a high satisfaction rating of about nine, indicating I would likely recommend it to others.

Also, having an app to use on the phone or desktop would be very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the convenience of being able to text our volunteers as opposed to having to call or e-mail. I get a much more immediate response when texting. My volunteers also love the convenience of being able to text as well. Customer support is very easy with the chat option as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems to be very easy for my volunteers to accidently subscribe and we have to walk them through resubscribing. I also experience glitches and end up sending the same message multiple times. I will also kick me out sometimes and I have to log back in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tech-support is top notch, and they are always quick to respond. Also, I love that you can design text messages that include images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My organization holds multiple events throughout the year, and I would like to be able to update phone numbers in bulk batches with new tags, so I can send messages to the appropriate groups. However, Textedly does not let you do that and unless you are going to go one by one on each account, you must upload the individual again with a new tag. So, I have some numbers in there 4 or 5 times because they are a part of 4 or 5 groups.

A bulk update feature like Mailchimp has would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Textedly to send out weekly prayer requests, and I love how it allows me to send them quickly and all at once. The scheduling feature is super convenient for me because I can plan ahead for the entire week, setting the exact date and time so that they land when I want. The texting back feature is also very handy since I can easily chat with people. Overall, Textedly just makes these tasks easy for me, and the basic plan is sufficient because I don't communicate with tons of people. The initial setup of Textedly was quite easy too.

The monthly subscription isn't the most convenient. I wish I could use texting credits without having to pay for the subscription. It would be great to have an option that's not just a subscription, but that I could pay for the credits when I need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After working with multiple CSR representatives, I have found each one to be extremely helpful. Additionally, the blasts are always deployed on schedule. I work at an ad agency, and we deploy blasts on behalf of our clients so the setup of those accounts can be complex. The reps always are willing to get on the phone and work through any roadblocks.

Overall, I haven't encountered any major problems. However, the frequent automated emails asking whether I would recommend Textedly to a friend can get a bit tiresome after a while. Be careful when signing up for plans because the platform will default to an annual plan unless they have fixed that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brooke was great today! She helped me understand my options when it came to upgrading our current plan, and how the process works, as well as the credit back to the account for our current plan before we upgraded! Thank you Brooke, great communication, and like all of the customer support people, she was very friendly and responded quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really of note. The platform is easy to use, the support excellent, and the text program has been a great asset to our marketing program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to input contacts and either click on only certain ones or send to the entire contact list- both being fairly easy to do, ability for our contacts to reply. Ability to send birthday texts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost increase. Birthday texting although a very interesting option, has not yet worked for us. I sent a test one this week, and it didn't go through even though it was set up correctly. The fact that a "text" isn't just a "text" but instead is counted up by number of characters, leading up to one text being counted as 2 or 3 texts- this leads to possible need to purchase a higher plan. Replies would be easier seen if there was a textedly app (if there is one, I have not known about it) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the scheduling text aspect, being able to schedule text in advance. You don't have to do it right away; you can schedule it out for the whole week or month, which is very helpful. The scheduling text feature allows me to send texts at specific times, even when I'm at work. That way, when I leave work, I know they'll just send at the optimal time that I want the recipients to receive it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it could be easier to find the billing information, like how the charging works. Sometimes it's hard to kinda get to that, and it's hard to change plans. If you wanna change plans from a monthly to an annual, but it's from, like, a bronze to gold, it can be hard to do that. You have to, like, reach out to an agent, which just takes some more time.

I really like how easy Textedly is to use and the fact that you're able to categorize different keywords and groups. It helps me stay organized, making texting more valuable because it enables me to stay on top of my leads and outbound communications, like cold outreach. The platform is simple, which definitely helps with organization in a business setup. I've been using it for over a year and a half, and I love it. The initial setup was pretty easy, despite requiring a bit of review and approval. It's a great platform that has made me more than I've put into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like having to verify every single time I log in, which I understand why. Another thing is, like, sometimes it does get slightly confusing when you're doing the numbers and things like that because sometimes it'll say, 'hey, you have to do this in order to send messages. Sometimes it won't.' I also think having a save password button would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's incredibly easy to use and implement! I love the reporting capabilities, the messaging, the AI assistance with writing a message. What isn't there to love about the platform. It's a massive upgrade from our previous service! The customer support is outstanding and incredibly responsive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is only 1 "downfall" we have come across and that's the ease of our customers knowing how to opt back in to messages. When someone opts out while it does inform them of the "1st step" in opting back in (sending a message of unstop or start), it does not instruct them on the 2nd part of the process (sending a 2nd text of the company keyword). We need to reach out to customer outside of textedly to instruct them of this. I wish we could customize the opt out reply so that it could include that additional step.
