BlueBot or LoopMessage?

LoopMessage sells hosted iMessage senders, shared or dedicated, that send from a phone number or an email address. A phone number of your own, SMS fallback and WhatsApp are add-ons.

Where BlueBot is better

$17.99 a month with your own number and SMS fallback included. A LoopMessage dedicated sender from $59.99 a month adds $15 a month each for a phone number and for SMS fallback. LoopMessage pricing
Webhooks are signed, so your endpoint can prove a request came from BlueBot. LoopMessage protects its webhooks with custom headers. LoopMessage webhooks
Every POST takes an Idempotency-Key. LoopMessage documents none. LoopMessage API docs
The MCP server sends texts and reads conversations. LoopMessage’s searches its docs. LoopMessage MCP
Texts come from your own number, the one people already have saved, and BlueBot sees the messages you type by hand on your Mac or iPhone too. A hosted line sees only what goes through it. What a Mac can and can’t do
