They need to realise they aren't all in competition - they are often complimentary. I just find everyone prices their subscriptions as though they were the only service people were going to use. I appreciate the time and effort and cost of offering these services. I like that Pulse offers a one-time payment option. MightyText isn't entirely free either, but the free tier is good enough for me. Works from phone (any SMS client but I use theirs), my tablet, and my desktop as a Chrome extension, Gmail add-in, and web site (Facebook integration is also available if you're into that kind of thing).

When PushBullet raised their prices I switched to MightyText exclusively. I don't remember hearing about Pulse SMS before, but for years I've used a combination of PushBullet and MightyText (with their optional companion app SimplyText). I immediately went for the one-time payment of $13.99 CAD ($10.00 USD) instead it's already proved to be 100% worth it. The one catch is that the service is not free, but you can at least enjoy a seven-day free trial before you pick one of the paid subscription options. And if, for some reason, you need to text from the 4K display in your living room, Android TV is fully supported as well.

Pulse supports the dual SIM cards on my OnePlus 3, along with full support for Android Wear-meaning that I have full access to messages on my wrist, not just the notifications for new ones. For the web there are no less than three ways to access your account: a browser plugin (which I'm currently using) a Chrome app and a regular web login.

Once I set up an online account I could install a tablet version and text from that device as well. I read a glowing review of the app on Greenbot over the weekend, and after testing it for the past few days I can say it works exactly as promised. Wouldn't it be great if there was a solution like this for Android? It takes the ubiquity of SMS and adds in the convenience of being able to text from a phone, tablet and/or computer. I'm not an iPhone user myself, but from what I understand Apple has worked hard to make iMessage the only messaging app their users are likely to need. Meanwhile, over on iOS everything seems to be fine.

And Google certainly isn't helping not only are they removing SMS integration from Hangouts but they're turning Hangouts itself into an enterprise app. Where different services once talked to each other via XMPP, today a user will likely have multiple and incompatible messaging apps and services installed on their phone. It's no secret that messaging is broken on Android.
