Two email builders, not an add-on

Describe the campaign and the AI builder designs the whole email, or build it yourself with drag and drop. Starter includes both, plus the templates and automations our email-first customers use. Nothing is gated behind a second subscription.

FAQ

Questions before you move

No. SlickText is an SMS platform, so email campaigns mean a second subscription and a second list to keep in sync. Messaro Starter is $19 a month and includes 7,500 email credits alongside 500 messaging credits, so email and SMS live in the same account and can sit in the same automation.
