## Frequently asked questions
**Is EZ Texting cheaper than Avochato?**
Yes — significantly. EZ Texting plans start at $25/month with 500 message credits included and free inbound messages. Avochato starts at $210/month and charges separately for messages, inbound texts, additional users ($42/user), and AI features. For most business users, EZ Texting costs less at every usage tier.

**What marketing tools does EZ Texting offer that Avochato doesn't?**
EZ Texting includes sign-up forms, QR codes, click-to-text buttons, a Shutterstock-powered media library, branded contact cards, a visual campaign scheduling calendar, and Text-to-Pay and Text-to-Donate secured by Stripe. Avochato focuses on conversation management and does not include these audience-growth and conversion tools, requiring integrations or workarounds for most marketing use cases.

**Does EZ Texting charge extra for AI features?**
No. EZ Texting includes AI Compose, AI Reply, Auto-Translate (6 languages), and an in-app recommendation assistant across all plans at no added cost. Avochato charges $0.05 per AI-generated message and $0.05 per AI-suggested reply — fees that double on pay-as-you-go plans — making AI costs unpredictable as message volume grows.

**How does EZ Texting's automation compare to Avochato's?**
Both platforms offer drip campaigns and one-step auto-replies. EZ Texting goes further with multi-step workflows, conditional logic and message branching, pre-built workflow templates, a visual drag-and-drop workflow builder, and custom webhook and API functionality. Avochato does not support conditional logic, branching, or multi-step workflows, limiting how teams can personalize automated customer journeys.
