iMessage everyone at once. Individually.
One message, personalized and delivered as a separate 1:1 text to each contact — from your own iPhone number.
Group chats get ignored. This doesn't.
The problem with the other ways
One reply-all punishes the whole list — and everyone sees everyone.
One thread at a time. Nobody sustains it past five contacts.
Write once — every contact gets their own private, personalized 1:1.

How it works
Pick your list
Import contacts or choose an audience. Free has no cap on contacts.
Write once
Draft one message and drop in {firstName} — every copy renders per person.
Fire the sends
Each message leaves as its own blue-bubble 1:1 from your number — you're on the send button, in seconds each.
What's built in
Never a group chat
Each recipient gets a private 1:1 thread. Replies come to your Messages app like any normal text — no platform inbox in the way.
Your own number
Blue bubbles from the contact they already know. No short codes, no rented numbers — and iMessage isn't subject to A2P 10DLC paperwork.
Personal, per person
{firstName}, street, city, company — every message renders individually. Blasts to 10+ people require personalization, so big sends can't read like spam.
You fire every send
Apple requires a human on the send button. Your messages are prepped and queued; you fire them in seconds each, in control of every text that leaves your number.

Questions, answered
Is an iMessage blast a group text?
No. Every recipient gets their own private 1:1 thread from your number. No one sees anyone else's replies, and no group chat is ever created. Each message is also personalized per recipient, so it reads like the individual text it is.
Do the messages really come from my own number?
Yes. Blasts send as iMessages from your own iPhone — blue bubbles, your real number, a contact your customers already recognize. There are no short codes, no rented numbers, and iMessage from your own phone is not subject to A2P 10DLC registration.
Is it automatic, or do I send each message?
You fire the sends. Apple requires that a human sends each iMessage, so FollowUp prepares every personalized message and you send them from your device in seconds each — you stay in control of every message that leaves your number.
What does the free tier include?
The Free plan has no cap on contacts and needs no credit card.

Where do replies go?
