Ours is through our Apartments.com/ForRent contract (can’t remember exact cost) but I hear the RentPath one is good too.

Message Media. I pay $55 a month for up to 1000 messages a month. I have 206 units. I rarely go over that amount but when I do its only like 10 cents extra per text. It's very easy to use and was able to merge all the residents information with an excel spreadsheet that our software can convert everything to. I love it!!!
