Autext and Etisia both start from the calendar.
Etisia is SMS reminders for Google Calendar. Autext does that, and also keeps the reply, the client list, and optional booking and deposits. Prices below are from etisia.com/au/pricing on 2 November 2026.
What Etisia listed
Yearly prices, ex GST where applicable: Starter A$16 a month (A$190 a year) for one calendar and 100 SMS, Pro A$29 a month (A$350 a year) for three calendars and 250 SMS, Team A$99 a month (A$1,190 a year) for unlimited calendars, staff accounts and 1,000 SMS. The FAQ also listed monthly prices of A$19, A$35 and A$119. An extra 50-SMS pack was A$19. The trial was 21 days of Pro, no card, plus up to 60 SMS earned in setup.
How Etisia sends
Etisia's pricing page says the default sender is a provider number and replies do not come back. Sending from your own Australian mobile is listed, and then replies arrive on your phone, not inside Etisia. Quiet hours on that page are 10pm to 7am, moved to about 8pm.
Autext
Starter is $15 a month ex GST, or $168.30 a year ex GST, for 100 texts and one calendar. Replies come back to the shared Autext number and show in the inbox. Extra texts are $10 per 100 ex GST ($11 inc), not a 50-pack at A$19. The booking page, missed-call text-back ($49/mo ex GST) and AI Text Assistant ($39/mo ex GST) are separate. AI Phone Receptionist is $65/mo ex GST and is not live.
