Hosted or your own

A service either hosts the line or sends from your own number.

Every service here sends blue bubbles. Most of the other differences follow from where the sending happens.

A line they host

Project Blue, Sendblue, Blooio, Linq and LoopMessage

The company runs the iPhones and Macs and gives you a line, and some can port your existing number onto one. There’s no Mac of yours to keep on, and several add calling, group chats, tapbacks, RCS or WhatsApp. A hosted line sees only the texts that go through it.

Their cheapest paid plans run from $20 to $260 a month, usually per line.

They suit a team that needs a line for each person, texting inside a CRM’s own inbox, or anyone without a Mac that can stay on.

Your own number, on your own device

BlueBot, autoMessage and Texting Blue

Texts go from the number people have saved for you, through Messages on your own Mac or, with Texting Blue, your iPhone. The device has to stay on and signed in. Because your own Apple ID does the sending, it’s your Apple ID at risk if you text people who didn’t ask.

In exchange it sees every message on the number, including the ones you type by hand, and costs from $17.99 to $59 a month.

It suits one person or a small business texting people who already know them, from a Mac that can stay on.
