How it compares to Linq

Apple Messages for Business is Apple's business chat channel in the Messages app, not iMessage from a phone number: customers chat with a verified brand and usually start the conversation. Heymarket's texting runs over SMS, MMS and RCS from business numbers. Linq sends iMessage, RCS and SMS from real phone numbers through an API, for a flat fee from $260 a month. Heymarket charges per user plus message credits.
