Peer-to-Peer Texting
Problem it Solves
How do I increase contact rate by using text messaging at scale?
Use Case
A campaign HQ team downloads a list of likely supporters to text to invite to a campaign rally.
Biggest Drawback
There are very few metrics available to admins, and its pricing model is one of the highest in the peer to peer market.
Does it Sync with NGPVAN?
Yes – Hustle can import lists via a button in VAN, and all the data from the SMS campaign syncs back instantly into VAN. It currently has the best VAN sync for any peer to peer SMS tool.
Pricing
$$$$
How Much Does this Cost?
- Hustle pricing is based on usage.
- Hustle’s pricing varies widely. Plans are based on the number of “contacts” a campaign uploads into the system, and you can text that phone number unlimited times for a set price. Many plans are in the 10-15 cents per contact range.
- Additionally, many Democratic state parties will have reseller agreements with Hustle.
Testimonials
“We really enjoyed using Hustle. Organizers loved it and we saw a good action rate – about 8%. However, there was a lot of set-up involved and without a huge digital team it was a big lift on our HQ staff to set up goals on a consistent basis.”
“Pros: Easy UI; effective tool for crowd build, GOTV, etc.
Cons: Oversimplified tool; reporting is not granular enough; tool went down for several hours during GOTV 2018″

Republicans have spent decades cultivating talent and investing for the long run, and right now we’re paying the price. Republicans control 30 state legislatures, 28 governors mansions, and are just a few seats away from regaining control of Congress. Together with an activist Supreme Court, they’re enacting policies that turn back progress on everything from abortion to voting rights to climate change.
Arena is building a new generation of political leaders who will lead the fight to save our democracy and build progressive power for the long run. It’s going to take all of us to make change. Join us in this work.
