Send personalized mass texts to hundreds of contacts at once — every recipient gets a private message that feels like you wrote it just for them. Or switch to group chat mode when you need everyone in one conversation. Trusted by realtors, coaches, churches, event planners, restaurants, and small business owners across the United States. WHY MASSTEXTER? • Personalized 1-on-1 Bulk SMS Send mass messages that land as individual private texts. Each contact sees only their own message, and every reply comes back to you only. • Group Chat Mode When You Need It Switch to group sending when you want everyone to see the conversation — perfect for coordinating events, family chats, or team updates. • Smart Personalization Use placeholders like [firstname], [lastname], and custom fields. "Hey [firstname]" becomes "Hey Sarah" automatically. Every contact feels personally addressed. • Send From Your Own Phone Number Use your own iPhone number and your regular unlimited texting plan. No business registration required, no separate texting service to sign up for, no per-message charges. • Pacing Between Messages for Larger Lists Built-in delays between sends help you space out messages naturally when reaching out to many contacts at once. • CSV Import & Contact Groups Import contacts from a CSV file or your iCloud address book. Organize them into reusable groups and update them anytime. • Templates That Save Hours Save your most frequently sent messages as templates.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Group Text at free with in-app purchases against PDF App's subscription. Group Text also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 37%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). PDF App's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (928 vs 215). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Group Text sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and PDF App sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PDF App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 215 and 928 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Group Text's written reviews are positive against 37% of PDF App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Group Text ships an update every 3 weeks, PDF App every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
