No card. Your brand on a real handset in days. US Tier-1 carrier delivery through Signalmash, on published rates.
EZ Texting is one of the longest-running US small-business texting apps: keyword opt-ins, list blasts, MMS, templates and a web app a non-technical owner can run in an afternoon. It sells monthly plans sized by contact count, with a credit bundle in each and an overage rate above it, and it includes A2P registration in the plan. On RCS, its own RCS page, read on 9 September 2026, described the service as primed for launch behind an interest form, with a promised feature set of longer messages, carousels, a verified brand badge and automatic fallback to SMS or MMS. Its pricing page, checked on 7 October 2026, publishes no RCS price and no RCS onboarding timeline, so the messages it prices are SMS and MMS.

Where the two differ.
Weigh both sides. The bar shows how the reasons stack up.
- Verified, branded RCS is live today: name, logo and checkmark on every message, rich cards, carousels and suggested actions, with automatic SMS and MMS fallback for every recipient who cannot receive it.
- Per-message pricing at carrier rates, published, with no plan tiers and no bundle to run out of.
- An AI bot builder that works from plain English and an agent that answers only from content you approved.
- Google sender verification and 10DLC filed for you, with a two-to-four-week target for a first verified send.
- A full API at the same price as the app, with signed webhooks and an MCP server for AI agents.
A comparison that only lists our strengths is not worth reading. These are things EZ Texting offers that SimplyRCS does not, stated as facts.
- Service in Canada as well as the US.
- One monthly plan price with a bundle of credits, with A2P registration included in the plan.
- Free inbound messages.
- A self-serve web app built around keyword opt-ins and list blasts for non-technical owners.
What EZ Texting charges
EZ Texting publishes its plans, which puts it ahead of most texting apps on transparency. The thing to notice is the unit: one SMS of 160 characters or less is one credit, and a credit is $0.03 (the price can vary between plans), so the per-message cost is the plan price divided by the credits you actually use, with the $0.03 to $0.04 overage rate as the marginal price once the bundle is gone.
| What you are billed for | EZ Texting | SimplyRCS |
|---|---|---|
| Plan | Monthly plans with a credit bundle, published on its pricing page | None; software is free |
| Credit price | 1 credit = $0.03 (price can vary between plans) | No credits; $0.0039 a text segment, $0.0150 a card or media message |
| Overage | $0.03 to $0.04 per credit | Same rate at any volume |
| SMS | 1 credit per message of 160 characters or less: $0.03 | $0.0039 per segment |
| MMS | Billed in credits | $0.0150 per message |
| RCS text | No price published | $0.0039 per segment |
| RCS card or media | No price published | $0.0150 per message |
| Inbound | Free | Same rate as outbound |
| A2P registration | Included in the plan | Filed for you; registry and carrier fees passed through at cost |

Two things follow from the table. SimplyRCS has no monthly platform fee, so there is no plan price to spread across your messages before the first one is sent. And per message the gap is wide: a $0.03 credit is about eight times SimplyRCS's $0.0039 SMS segment, and the $0.04 overage about ten times, so a 20,000-message month at the overage rate costs $600 to $800 in credits on EZ Texting and about $78 in messages on SimplyRCS, before carrier fees passed through at cost. The comparison only covers SMS, because EZ Texting publishes no price for the verified RCS that is the reason to look at this category.
What migration involves
EZ Texting accounts run on local long codes and toll-free numbers, with a dedicated short code on Enterprise. Long codes port to SimplyRCS through standard US number portability, toll-free numbers move by a RespOrg change, and a short code moves through a carrier migration. The A2P registration EZ Texting includes in its plans does not travel with the number: 10DLC brand and campaign registrations, and any verified RCS agent, are tied to the provider that filed them, so SimplyRCS re-files the brand, campaigns and RCS sender for you. Your opt-in list travels as data you export.
Both providers run in parallel during cutover, and SimplyRCS makes no overlap charge for that period. Long codes and toll-free numbers carry no carrier migration fee. Short-code migrations carry carrier-set fees, passed through at cost: $500 for T-Mobile, $250 for Verizon and $150 for Claro.
A US business that has outgrown blasts and wants messaging to look like the brand: a restaurant, clinic, retailer or service business that needs order and appointment flows with buttons, a loyalty card in the inbox, or a support bot, and wants the bill to track messages rather than a plan tier.

SimplyRCS vs EZ Texting, answered.
Does EZ Texting support RCS?
Not as a priced channel. EZ Texting's RCS page, read on 9 September 2026, described the planned features behind an interest form, and its pricing page, checked on 7 October 2026, publishes no RCS price and no RCS onboarding timeline. SimplyRCS sends verified RCS today with automatic SMS and MMS fallback.
How much does EZ Texting cost per message?
EZ Texting sells monthly plans with a bundle of credits. One SMS of 160 characters or less is one credit, a credit is $0.03 (the price can vary between plans), and extra credits above the bundle cost $0.03 to $0.04. SimplyRCS charges $0.0039 per SMS or RCS text segment and $0.0150 per MMS or RCS card or media message, with no plan or monthly fee, and a one-time $250 RCS Sender ID setup and review if you add a verified RCS sender.
Is SimplyRCS cheaper than EZ Texting?
Per SMS, by roughly eight to ten times: $0.03 to $0.04 a credit against $0.0039 a segment. Per month too, because SimplyRCS has no monthly platform fee, so a few hundred texts cost a couple of dollars plus carrier fees at cost. What EZ Texting's plan buys is one all-inclusive price.
Can I move from EZ Texting to SimplyRCS and keep my number?
Yes. Long codes port through standard US number portability and toll-free numbers move by a RespOrg change. Your 10DLC campaigns are re-filed by SimplyRCS, and your opt-in list travels as data you export. Porting a number to a new messaging provider walks through it.
Why choose SimplyRCS over EZ Texting?
If you want verified RCS now rather than on a waitlist, a bill that scales with messages rather than plan tiers, an AI agent, and carrier approval handled for you, SimplyRCS is built for that.
