What actually differs
Blooio publishes the most complete price list in this market: a free trial capped at 20 messages, Starter at $39, Commercial Shared at $89, Inbound at $109, Commercial Dedicated at $289 per line, and Enterprise Dedicated from $195 per line at six or more. The catch is documented on its own page: everything below Commercial Dedicated is a managed pool where the sender number varies.
Linq publishes a sandbox, an Enterprise tier and a contact form. What it does publish is capability: tapbacks, read receipts and typing indicators, programmatic group threads, FaceTime, live location through Find My, and a stated 99.95% uptime SLA it describes as the only contractual one in the industry. It also holds a SOC 2 Type II claim Blooio does not. A competitor's page puts Linq at roughly $250 a month plus a $1,000 setup fee; Linq publishes neither figure and we are not repeating a rival's number as fact.
Blooio is for
Teams who want to compare on cost before they compare on anything else.
Linq Blue is for
Teams who need the deepest feature set and will accept a sales process to price it.
