TextKit Launches Cheaper SMS API for Agents

TextKit launched an SMS API for sending and receiving texts in the US and Canada, with SDKs, a CLI, MCP support, sandbox testing, verification, and automated 10DLC registration. Pricing starts at $0 monthly and $0.002 per text plus carrier fees.

// ANALYSIS

TextKit’s strongest angle is removing the compliance, testing, and observability headaches around SMS—not merely simplifying one API call.

–Sandbox mode lets developers test messaging flows and webhooks without contacting real users.
–MCP support gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other agents access to texting, contacts, numbers, and delivery tools.
–Automated 10DLC registration and built-in STOP, START, and HELP handling address major US messaging friction.
–Lower base pricing could appeal to startups, though carrier fees, deliverability, and US/Canada-only coverage remain constraints.
–Two-way messaging, delivery logs, verification, broadcasts, and spend limits make it more complete than a basic SMS gateway.
