What Scale to Win Text is

Scale to Win Text is a web-based texting tool for grassroots fundraising, organizing, and opt-in programs. Campaign features include Audiences, Saved Searches, link tracking, shared Inboxes, Budgets, threaded conversations, message previews, Texter Send, and a script template library. Campaigns can use registered local 10DLC, toll-free, or short code numbers. Scale to Win says the service can send millions of messages per hour, and its product page invites users to sign up for 1,000 free texts; there is no free plan. The listed Text Short Code plan is $0.01 a month, with outbound SMS billed at 1¢ per segment, MMS at 2.5¢ per message, and a $500/month flat short code rental fee. Text Long Code is listed at $0.02, paid once, with SMS at 1.5¢ per segment and MMS at 3.5¢ per message; inbound messages and landline filtering are free, with no monthly fees. Integrations include NGP VAN/EveryAction, ActBlue, ActionKit, and Google Cloud Storage. Local 10DLC registration is required, usually takes 7–10 business days, and registrations from other vendors do not transfer.

Scale to Win Text is aimed at progressive campaigns and organizations, nonprofits, higher education institutions, and labor unions. It may suit teams that need campaign texting, shared inboxes, and the listed fundraising or organizing integrations.
