How Porterhouse Works

Porterhouse is a simple and intuitive app that works with your Mac and iPhone. Here’s how it works:

1. Craft your message. Create a message with no length limits. Add an image, video, or more, and personalize it with a ${firstName} tag.
2. Choose recipients. Upload a CSV file with names and numbers, or choose individuals or groups from your Apple Contacts.
3. Send your text blast. Click Send, and watch the magic as Porterhouse texts each recipient one-by-one from your Mac’s Messages App, as though you were doing it yourself!
4. Respond from Messages App. View and respond to replies right from your Mac or iPhone’s Messages App.

That’s it! You can also do a dry-run test before sending, and get notified when sending is done.

What Features Porterhouse Offers

Porterhouse is not just a simple mass texting app. It offers a lot of features that make it stand out from the competition. Here are some of them:

• Texts are private and sent individually, NOT to the whole group. iOS recipients receive iMessages and Android recipients receive SMSes.
• Import recipients from Mailchimp or other CRMs. You can sync your contacts from your favorite platforms and keep them updated.
• NO per-text fee or message length limits! You only pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited texts, no matter how long or how many you send.
• Premium features for about $1/day. You can upgrade to get access to more features, such as adding links with full preview, or any kind of image (GIFs and Live Photos too!), attaching videos or other filetypes, and tracking who opened them.
• Zapier Integrations. You can trigger automatic text messages with our powerful Zapier API integrations. For example, automatically send an iMessage when a new person or phone-number is added to a Google Sheet, a new subscriber signs up on your website, a new person signed up for your event via a Google Form or similar, or a lead or customer event happens on your CRM.

What Real Customers Say About Porterhouse

Porterhouse has a lot of happy customers who use it for various purposes. Here are some of their testimonials:

• “We run a large window and gutter cleaning business so we have about 2000 clients per year that need constant texting to remain customers and to give them updates. Most small businesses like us use their cell phone prior to getting to scale, so to have a software like Porterhouse that still allows you to use your iMessage and see your past threads with clients is so key. Literally every other software uses a different phone number.” – Matt, Window and Gutter Cleaning Business Owner
• “Porterhouse is such a helpful app – I’m a study group coordinator for about 30 dentists and we meet monthly. In the past I would email them all and then call EACH office to get RSVPs because no one answers their emails – they are very busy!! Using Porterhouse, I was able to send a text and get quick responses like “I’ll be there!” or “not this time!” and it cut my work in half at least!!” – Lisa, Study Group Coordinator
• “I’m a huge fan of Porterhouse and the way it works – we used it to text premium clients real estate alerts, and the blue iMessage has been great for conversions!” – Ryan, Real Estate Agent
