Beeper and Texts are two leading universal messaging apps that allow users to manage conversations across multiple platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, LinkedIn, Discord, and Slack from one unified inbox. Both services support nearly a dozen instant messaging platforms, encrypt conversations, and offer tools to help reach inbox zero. However, there are key differences in their design choices, ways they fetch chats, and pricing. Beeper connects with more apps and is available on more platforms than Texts, but its free version has limitations. Texts offers more advanced features such as AI summaries, replies, and assistant, customization options, and better organization tools, but its paid subscription starts at $12.50/month. Users can choose between the two services based on their needs, with Texts being a good option for those who need advanced features on their computer and Beeper being suitable for those looking for an all-in-one inbox on their phone without advanced features.
