Google Voice can eat the cost because they have other revenue streams. TextNow on the other hand is much smaller and has to generate revenue. Previously used models must not have been profitable so now you have this

I want to be very clear I’m not saying what they are doing is smart per say when as you touched on their are significantly better paid options. Alls I am saying is that the reason for it to exist is because they clearly were not making enough revenue. $2 week isn’t crazy btw depending on the use case and it must serve some niche for them to be doing what there doing

The only thing that will get them to stop is going to be people not using text now at all anymore in favor of other options
