SMS Expert vs K9 Chat

SMS Expert is for professionals that want to make themselves accessible to their customers via confidential SMS and also need to balance personal privacy with that availability. It will upload your contacts to the application automatically (you can add separate ones directly in the app as well). Why use SMS Expert instead of other texting apps? Our unique features for professionals are Grouping, Rules, and Auto-Replies. First, you group your contacts how you wish, and create auto-reply rules for those groups. Easy drag and drop for configuration of rules and groups. After setting up your groups you can take advantage of some of our unique features including: - Anonymous Group Send, where you can send a text to everyone in a group, but no one can see who else got that message, and replies back are only to you - Favorites, where you can save a reply or part of a reply for future use. - Customized auto-replies to individuals or groups - Printing, where you can print an entire conversation or just the new parts of it, for documentation purposes. This application is ideal for people that maintain confidential client lists and want to communicate via SMS (psychologists, lawyers, financial advisors, rental property owners, salesmen, etc.). **SMS Expert is paired with a free companion app, SMS Expert Lite to facilitate secure communication. ***PLEASE NOTE: A monthly subscription is required after your trial period.
