Switching from Street Text
You're paying for lead gen. You just want the texts.
Yes — if you only want the texting and not the lead-gen bundle. SendMate is standalone texting at a flat $49/mo Founders with no per-message fees, versus Street Text's $128–$298/mo plus $0.10 per message. Keep your own lead sources; SendMate sends from your own Follow Up Boss number.
Street Text charges $128–$298/mo with $0.10 per message, and bundles texting as an add-on to their Facebook lead-gen platform. If you're only using the texting part, you're paying for a product you don't need. SendMate is texting, standalone — starting at $49/mo Founders. Think of it as your digital ISA, quietly working your FUB list from your own FUB number.
Range from Street Text $128/mo up to $298/mo, vs SendMate Founders $49/mo flat. Doesn't count $0.10-per-message fees that stack on top.
Is SendMate cheaper than Street Text in 2026?

If you love Street Text's lead gen — keep it
You don't have to pick one or the other. Run Street Text's Facebook-ad funnel for leads, and let SendMate handle the texting side. Drop the texting add-on and the $0.10-per-message fees; keep the ad funnel you trust.
Will my Follow Up Boss Action Plans still work after I switch?
Yes. SendMate is a quiet ISA working your FUB list for you. It watches the notes your Action Plans drop and sends each text from your own FUB number. No rebuild: flip the Text Source toggle and your ISA is on duty.
Your SendMate ISA sends each text on the day your Action Plan calls for it, during your Send Window — not queued to a precise second. For a typical FUB drip cadence the outcome is the same as a scheduled service.
How do I switch from Street Text to SendMate?
In four steps, usually under 15 minutes: cancel or pause Street Text, install SendMate, flip your FUB Text Source toggle, and your SendMate ISA takes over your existing Action Plans.
Drop the texting add-on
Keep Street Text's lead-gen if you want it; drop the $49/mo texting piece to avoid double-sending.
Install SendMate
Mac or Windows app, FUB login. ~3 minutes.
Switch Text Source
Settings → FUB Settings → Text Source → "Notes Only".
Your ISA takes over
Your existing notes keep dropping. Your SendMate ISA sends them same-day during your Send Window.
Your texts send from your number, not theirs
Street Text routes through their number — meaning if you leave, your lead conversations go with them. SendMate sends through your own FUB number. Your history stays in FUB, where you own it. No hostage-taking.
Switcher FAQ
What about auto-stop-on-reply?
Preserved in SendMate. When a lead replies, your pending texts cancel automatically — same behavior you're used to.
Emoji reactions on notes?
Not today. If that's important, tell us — it's on the roadmap page.
Will my Facebook-ad leads still flow through?
Yes — FUB still imports them. SendMate sits on top of FUB, it doesn't replace your lead sources.
