Compare Postscript for SMS Marketing
13,000+ Shopify stores prefer Postscript
Postscript is building the best-in-class SMS platform for Shopify merchants. No distractions.
Our competitors are building all-in-one marketing solutions where SMS is just one feature. They’re also trying to service multiple ecommerce platforms and additional industries. This lack of speciality results in them being slow to innovate and their platform becoming clunky and difficult to use.
We focus on what we do best—SMS marketing. We are building a best-in-class platform that is deeply integrated in the Shopify ecosystem. It’s no surprise that we’re often the first to bring innovative features to market.
Postscript believes in a different way to do SMS than our competitors.
Conversational two-way messaging IS the way to stand out with customers. But our competitors often preach SMS strategies that just end up annoying them.
Our philosophy on SMS marketing leads to a better experience for your subscribers. They’ll actually enjoy getting a text from you—not get annoyed by it.

Postscript enables you to deeply segment and personalize your messages.
Postscript has several features that our competitors lack that help you send fewer, more targeted messages:
SKU-level segmentation for automations (allowing you to optimize SMS automations based on what a customer has or hasn’t purchased)
65+ event triggers to build automations for cart abandonment, order and shipping notifications, subscription management, and more (some of our competitors give you as few as 6 event triggers)
40 user filters to build an unlimited number of subscriber segments as granularly as you’d like
The result? Lower program costs and a median ROI of 31X across all 10,000+ Postscript brands.

"The product with Postscript is just hands down the best that I've ever used. I've never experienced such a great experience from a software provider. They really have gone out of their way to make our program oober successful and it's evident that they care about us getting as much value out of our program as possible. In my opinion, you get the best product on the market, you get it at the best price, and you get it with the best service."

"Like email, [SMS as a marketing channel] is ultra profitable because once you get that customer on your subscriber list - well, now the cost of reaching them just dropped drastically. I wish I had started SMS right at the beginning, but hey that’s why I'm telling you. I switched to Postscript this year from a competitor, and I use their “do it for you” service called Postscript Plus. The experience has been amazing, and we are up to 90K sms subscribers. In a single sale campaign, SMS can account for up to $20K for us."

"We made the switch from another SMS platform to Postscript for Lomi and it was the best decision we made for SMS. While I found that the PS platform itself is more intuitive and easier to navigate, it was Postscript+ that was one of the main reasons we made the switch. The team that we work with is extremely creative when it comes to coming up with ideas for campaigns or automations and they’re very responsive if we happen to have any last-minute campaigns or changes."

Postscript pricing gives you flexibility with your content and creative
We want brands to focus on what they're telling subscribers—not how many characters they're typing. That's why we've created a transparent pricing structure with flexible options for sending content-rich messages without being charged for multiple messages.
As you explore pricing for other solutions, be sure to consider:
Real-time billing visibility. Can you easily access your running total for each month, or do you have to wait for your bill to see your charges?
The true cost per message. Are carrier fees clearly broken out?
Support for two-way messaging. Is there a fee for incoming messages?
The cost of delivery failure. Do you pay for messages that fail to send?
Rollover credits. If you must purchase credits upfront, what happens to those left over at the end of your billing cycle?
Character limits. At what point are you charged for an additional message—particularly for MMS? Postscript allows up to 1,600 characters per MMS—with or without emojis. (Learn more here.)
Unsubscribe rates. How much will you have to spend to replenish and grow your list if a high percentage of subscribers churn out?
Platform segmentation capabilities. Will you waste money sending texts to subscribers who aren't the best fit for a particular message?
Postscript’s pricing structure and platform capabilities are built to drive long-term SMS value for your brand.
