11 of 17 tracked business texting platforms publish a base plan under $50/mo, the cheapest being Avochato at $0 (pay-as-you-go). These bases bundle a small monthly credit allowance — extra segments are metered on top — so the real monthly cost depends on send volume rather than the sticker alone.

## Related questions

### Which business texting software is cheapest to start?

Avochato has the lowest published base — a pay-as-you-go model with no monthly base, billing only per message sent. Confirm the bundled credit allowance and per-segment overage, since send volume drives the real bill.

### Are the sub-$50 plans full-featured?

Entry tiers cap the bundled credit allowance and often the user seats, with shortcodes, automations and advanced analytics gated to higher tiers. They suit a single line or small campaign.

### Does the base include any messages?

Yes — most bundle a fixed monthly credit allowance (commonly 500 credits at the entry tier). We record the bundled allowance per vendor where the vendor publishes it; pure per-message vendors carry no allowance and bill from the first segment.
