Zero Messaging Fees: Utilizes your cellular plan's native SMS/MMS, completely bypassing external API costs. Smart Batching: Automatically chunks large attendee lists into manageable groups to ensure reliable delivery.

Privacy First: Keeps your club's data local to your device and your communications securely within your trusted native texting app. (Note: Standard cellular carrier text messaging rates apply depending on your mobile plan).
