Blooio alternative
Blooio offers transparent pricing and targets GoHighLevel agencies, but the severe limits on lower tiers (5 new contacts/day, shared number, 90-day history) and the confirmed Apple ban risk make it a compromised choice. Texting Blue starts at $19/month with your own number, no contact limits, and zero ban risk.
Why teams are switching from Blooio to Texting Blue
Blooio runs cloud Apple hardware and limits Starter plans to just 5 new contacts per day with shared numbers. Their "auto un-ban" feature confirms numbers get banned by Apple. Texting Blue uses your real iPhone — no bans, no limits.

Full Feature Comparison
Side-by-side comparison of Blooio and Texting Blue.
Blooio Pricing vs Texting Blue
Blooio has the most transparent pricing in the market, but lower tiers are severely limited. The $39/month Starter plan only allows 5 new contacts per day with a shared number.
Known Blooio Limitations
Common issues reported by Blooio users and reviewers.
Severe lower-tier limits
Starter plan allows only 5 new contacts per day. Commercial allows 15. These limits make the cheapest plans impractical for any real outreach.
Apple ban risk (confirmed)
Blooio's "auto un-ban" feature implicitly confirms that Apple bans numbers used for commercial iMessage. They manage the risk but cannot eliminate it.
No independent validation
Founded in 2023 with zero reviews on G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, or Reddit. The only reviews are 6 Product Hunt entries.
90-day message history on lower tiers
Starter and Commercial plans retain message history for only 90 days. Older conversations are lost.
Shared numbers on lower tiers
Starter and Commercial plans use shared numbers. Your messages come from a number shared with other Blooio customers.
Why Texting Blue Is Different
Every competitor — including Blooio — runs cloud-hosted Apple devices to send iMessage. Texting Blue takes a fundamentally different approach.
Your Own iPhone
Messages come from your real device. No cloud hardware, no intermediary, no Apple compliance risk.
Your Real Number
No provisioned business numbers. Recipients see the number they already know and trust.
Shared Team Inbox
Your whole team can view and respond to messages from any browser. One number, everyone on the same page.
