We compete with Slybroadcast, and we're still going to give you the straightest pricing breakdown you'll find anywhere — published rates, the four costs that don't appear on the pricing page, and the honest per-drop math. If we win, we want to win on accuracy.
Carrier-grade infrastructure we own and operate
Slybroadcast pricing starts at $12 for 100 voicemail drops pay-as-you-go — about $0.10–$0.12 per drop — and monthly plans run from $8 per 100 credits up to $500 for 13,000. Expiring monthly credits, a $15/month callback line, and 2-credit add-ons raise the real cost per drop.
These are the entry and exit points of Slybroadcast's pricing ladder, taken from their published signup and FAQ pages in July 2026. Rates change — always check Slybroadcast's own site for what's current. We're not going to reconstruct every tier in between; we'd rather show you three verified anchors than a table we can't stand behind.
That's $0.10–$0.12 per drop at the entry point of the PAYG ladder. Credit where due: PAYG credits don't expire, which makes this the honest choice for occasional senders.
The monthly ladder starts at $8 per 100 — $0.08 per drop. The catch isn't the rate, it's the clock: monthly credits expire 30 days after purchase, used or not.
At the top of the published monthly ladder, $500 buys 13,000 credits — roughly $0.038 per drop. Getting that rate means committing to burning 13,000 credits every 30 days.

Here's what no static-pricing provider will tell you: every RVM platform pays its upstream voice carrier in 6-second billing increments — literal pennies per completed drop. Then they charge you a flat per-drop rate, and the spread between what the call actually cost and what you paid is pure invisible margin. The flatter and simpler the price looks, the more room it hides.
Your rate is a flat, transparent markup over the real upstream carrier cost of each call — which moves with your list's actual NPA-NXX geography, not a made-up national average. No hidden spread, no expiring-credit gimmicks, no fee stack to audit. The full model is documented in our ringless voicemail pricing guide.
Same $200. Slybroadcast figures use their published PAYG entry rates as of July 2026, before any add-on fees. BestText's number is approximate by design — dynamic pricing means it depends on your list.
| $200 of Slybroadcast PAYG | $200 on BestText (free) | |
|---|---|---|
| Voicemail drops | ≈1,600–2,000 at entry rates ($0.10–$0.12/drop) | ≈10,000 drops |
| What it costs you | $200 out of pocket | $0 — free credits, no card |
| DNC scrubbing | Not included | Free realtime national + state scrub, every record |
| Credit expiration | ✅ PAYG credits don't expire (fair is fair) | ✅ No expiration clock |
| Add-on exposure | $15/mo callback line; 2-credit personalization & follow-up SMS | One transparent rate — no fee stack to audit |
| What you learn | Sent counts | Verified deliveries, listens, call-backs |
Drop counts are approximate: Slybroadcast's depend on which PAYG tier you buy into; BestText's depend on your list's geography. That's the honest version of this table.
We can publish math all day — the only numbers that should convince you are your own. Put $250 on your current provider and $250 through BestText, run the same list, and compare what actually landed. Every sender who's run this test picked us.
$250 each side. Identical audience, identical message.
Verified deliveries and call-backs — not "Sent" counts.
And your first $200 through BestText is free anyway.
As of July 2026, Slybroadcast's pay-as-you-go entry is $12 per 100 drops — about $0.10 to $0.12 per voicemail. Monthly plans start at $8 per 100 credits and run up to $500 for 13,000 (roughly $0.038 per drop at the top), but monthly credits expire after 30 days, and add-ons like the $15/month callback line and 2-credit personalization raise the effective cost per drop. Check Slybroadcast's site for current rates.
No. As of July 2026 Slybroadcast offers no free trial — the cheapest way to evaluate the platform is buying the $12 pay-as-you-go pack. BestText gives new accounts $200 in free RVM credits, enough for roughly 10,000 drops, with no credit card and no contract required.
Slybroadcast monthly plan credits expire 30 days after purchase and do not roll over. Pay-as-you-go credits do not expire — which is why many lighter senders stay on PAYG despite the higher per-drop rate. With BestText, your credits are yours — no 30-day evaporation clock.
The cheapest sticker price is rarely the cheapest cost per verified delivery. A low advertised rate paired with expiring credits, add-on fees, and "Sent"-only reporting can cost more per message that actually reached a voicemail box. Compare providers on cost per verified delivery: BestText's $200 in free credits — roughly 10,000 drops with free national and state DNC scrubbing included — lets you measure that before spending a dollar. Our ringless voicemail pricing guide walks through the full math.
