Marketing
Attentive
Enterprise SMS (and email) marketing at scale.
$300+/mo + per-SMS
What it costs
Quote-only. Typically ~$300/mo base plus ~$0.01/SMS and carrier fees, with quarterly minimums of roughly $2,000-$3,000 (about $667-$1,000/mo before you send anything). A dedicated short code adds ~$500/mo. Contracts usually run 6-12 months; reported annual deals range widely (median around $40k).
Best for
High-volume, multi-location brands where SMS already drives a meaningful share of revenue.
Pros
- Enterprise-grade SMS deliverability and list growth tools
- Strong AI-assisted campaign and audience features
- Scales to very large subscriber bases
- Adds email alongside SMS
Cons
- High minimums and multi-month contracts
- Opaque, sales-led pricing
- Too costly for a single independent location
Integrations
Integrates with major ecommerce and marketing stacks; restaurant fit depends on your POS/ordering connections.
Alternatives
Klaviyo · SlickText · Marsello
Our take: Powerful SMS at scale, but the minimums and contracts make it a multi-unit play. A single family restaurant will get more value from Klaviyo or SlickText.
