SimpleTexting vs Brevo SMS
Depends whether texting is the campaign. SimpleTexting is built for it: keywords, contests, campaigns and real handholding on the compliance side, which is not optional. Brevo makes sense when texting is a side dish to email, you want one bill, and the messages are mostly transactional rather than something you plan a month around.

The three rounds that actually decide it
Price reality: ignore the sticker and count the tier you'll actually need in six months, plus transaction or per-seat fees. That's where these two usually separate.
Day-to-day friction: the better tool is the one your team opens without sighing. Feature lists don't run your business; habits do.
Room to grow: switching costs are the hidden price. Pick the one whose ceiling you won't hit; moving later costs more than choosing right now.
What actually decides it
Whether SMS is a channel or a campaign. SimpleTexting is purpose-built for text marketing with compliance tooling; Brevo bundles SMS alongside email.
What changing your mind costs later
Moderate. Numbers and opt-in records matter, and consent records are not optional.
