DualBlaster officially launches May 1, 2026
EZ Texting charges per credit. DualBlaster lets you use your own Twilio account at wholesale rates — and includes email marketing too.
EZ Texting's credit system sounds simple, but costs add up fast — especially at scale.
Some EZ Texting plans include as few as 500 credits. Additional messages are billed at ~$0.03-0.04 per credit, depending on plan. At higher volumes, overage charges can add up quickly.
Want to send an image or video? MMS messages typically consume multiple credits (often 3 per MMS), depending on plan.
Only 1 user included per plan. Need your team to access the platform? Pay extra for each seat.

Yes — DualBlaster uses the BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model. You create a Twilio account, get a phone number, and connect it to DualBlaster. This takes about 15 minutes, and we have step-by-step guides. The benefit? You pay Twilio directly at their wholesale rates (~$0.0079/SMS for U.S.) instead of EZ Texting's credit-based pricing (~$0.03-0.04/SMS).
Both platforms support A2P registration (required for business SMS). With EZ Texting, they handle it for you. With DualBlaster, you register through Twilio's console — it's straightforward and gives you direct control over your campaign registration and throughput limits.
Yes! Export your contacts from EZ Texting as CSV and import them into DualBlaster. Your phone numbers stay with EZ Texting (you'd get new ones from Twilio), but your contact lists transfer easily. Most customers complete migration in under an hour.
No — both platforms are designed for marketers, not developers. DualBlaster has an AI message composer, drag-and-drop contact import, visual campaign builder, and all the features you'd expect. The only extra step is the initial Twilio setup, which is a one-time thing.
This is where DualBlaster really shines. EZ Texting is SMS-only — you'd need a separate email platform (Mailchimp, Constant Contact, etc.) and pay for both. DualBlaster includes email marketing with SendGrid or AWS SES, so you manage both channels from one dashboard at one price.
Switch from EZ Texting to DualBlaster and start saving. Get SMS + Email in one platform at wholesale rates, starting at $99/month.
