8 Best SMS Marketing Software for Shopify in 2026: Tools Compared

Postscript is the only tool in this list built solely for Shopify, and that focus shows in every flow. It reads live order, product and customer data from the store, so abandoned-checkout, back-in-stock, shipping and delivery texts trigger from real events without extra setup. Starter has a $0 platform fee with a $49 monthly minimum spend, and US SMS costs $0.009 per message plus carrier fees.

The catch is the minimum spend and the single-platform limit. You pay $49 a month even in a month when you send nothing, and the tool does not work on WooCommerce, BigCommerce or Wix, so a store that moves platforms must replace it. Short codes cost $750 a month extra, and the free Starter tier only includes 2 opt-in keywords.

Klaviyo is the best pick for a Shopify store that wants email and SMS from one list. Its Shopify integration is the deepest of any email-first tool: flows can switch between email and SMS based on what each customer opens, and abandoned-cart, post-purchase and win-back flows share the same segments. The free plan covers 250 profiles, 500 emails and $5 of mobile messages a month.

The catch is the price curve. The Email plan starts at $20 a month for 251 to 500 profiles, Email plus SMS starts at $35 a month, and the bill climbs with every new active profile. SMS credits cost extra on every tier, and free-plan email support ends after 60 days. A store with a fast-growing list should model the price at 1,000 and 5,000 profiles first.

Attentive suits a large Shopify store that wants SMS run for it, not by it. It pairs SMS and email with AI personalization, managed onboarding and deliverability support, and it serves enterprise retail and DTC brands sending 50,000 or more texts a month. The platform reads Shopify order data and builds segments from purchase history, so campaigns can target high-value customers without manual list work.

The catch is the price and the sales process. Attentive publishes no prices: you book a demo, get a custom quote, and sign a contract with quarterly minimums. Public contract data puts the median annual deal near $40,000. A small or mid-size store will pay far more here than on Postscript or Klaviyo for the same messages.

Omnisend is the cheapest paid pick for a Shopify store that wants email and SMS together. Standard starts at $16 a month for up to 500 contacts with 6,000 emails, and the free plan covers 250 contacts and 500 emails a month. The Shopify link syncs orders and customers, and every plan includes automation, segmentation and A/B testing.

The catch is that SMS is not a Standard feature for new accounts. Plans started after May 4, 2026 need Pro at $59 a month to buy SMS credits, which start at $0.007 per message in the US. A store that only wants SMS will pay $59 a month here, while a store that wants email plus SMS gets a fair deal at the Pro price.

SimpleTexting suits a Shopify store that wants SMS only, with no tier puzzle. It starts at $39 a month for 500 credits with a local number included, and every feature ships on every plan: automations, API access, AI writing help and unlimited keywords. The Shopify link syncs contacts, and three user seats are included, so the store owner and two staff can share the account.

The catch is the price for a small store. At $39 a month, it costs more than EZ Texting or Textedly for the same 500 messages, and extra credits cost 5.5 cents each. There is no email channel, so a store that also sends newsletters needs a second tool. Carrier fees of about $0.0025 per message sit on top of the plan price.

EZ Texting is the cheapest monthly SMS plan for a Shopify store. Launch costs $25 a month, or $20 a month billed annually, for 500 credits with a local number included. Setup is short, the interface is plain, and the Shopify link syncs contacts so a store can text buyers after checkout without a CSV export.

The catch is the fees around the headline price. Launch adds a $5 a month telecom fee, MMS costs 3 credits per message, and extra users cost $10 a month each. A store that sends picture messages of new products will burn through 500 credits fast. Check the real monthly total with the telecom fee included before you compare it with SlickText at $29 a month.

Textedly suits a Shopify store that sends a steady number of texts each month and wants one flat price. Basic costs $29 a month for 500 messages, or 600 messages billed annually, and every plan includes all features: two-way texting, MMS, text-to-pay, review requests and AI writing help. It links to Shopify through Zapier and other apps, and inbound messages are always free.

The catch is the surcharge and the shallow link. Every account pays an $8 a month telecom surcharge, so the real entry cost is $37 a month, not $29. The Shopify connection runs through a third-party app rather than a native link, so order-triggered flows need extra setup. There is also no free plan, only a 14-day trial with 50 messages.

Brevo suits a Shopify store that sends email most days and texts only now and then. Starter costs $9 a month for 5,000 emails, and the free plan sends 300 emails a day. SMS credits are sold separately on a pay-as-you-go basis, so a store that texts only for flash sales or back-in-stock alerts pays only for the messages it sends.

The catch is that SMS is a side channel here. The SMS tools are thinner than on a dedicated SMS platform, with fewer templates and no SMS-first automation library, and the Shopify link is lighter than Klaviyo's. Automation and A/B testing also need Standard at $18 a month, and the Brevo logo stays on Starter emails unless you pay for removal.
