SlickText vs Tuta: at a glance
What is SlickText?
SlickText's feed is all SMS buying guides; no product release has surfaced since RCS.
SlickText's recent feed is entirely search content: SMS segmentation, church and nonprofit texting comparisons, Black Friday tactics, cost breakdowns and guides on annual plans. No release appears in the entries since the basic RCS addition.
What is Tuta?
Tuta's One-Click Migration can now pull mail through Google and Microsoft APIs, not just IMAP.
Tuta is an encrypted email, calendar and drive suite that ships one numbered build across web, desktop, Android and iOS. The 368.261109 build adds the option to open attachments while composing and lets One-Click Migration import from Gmail and Microsoft accounts through their APIs as well as IMAP. The rest of the batch is bug fixes: list selection flashing, spam rules not updating, alias deactivation for shared mailboxes and connection errors during migration.
SlickText vs Tuta: editorial side-by-side
SlickText
5.0COMMS
SlickText's feed is all SMS buying guides; no product release has surfaced since RCS.
◆ Current state
SlickText's recent feed is entirely search content: SMS segmentation, church and nonprofit texting comparisons, Black Friday tactics, cost breakdowns and guides on annual plans. No release appears in the entries since the basic RCS addition.
◆ Where it's heading
The content is getting more explicit about buying decisions. Vertical comparison pages, published prices and an outgrown-your-platform pitch all aim at people ready to switch. Product motion cannot be read from these posts.
◆ Prediction
Expect Black Friday content through November and more vertical comparison pages. These entries give no evidence of how RCS is progressing.
Tuta
5.0COMMS
Tuta's One-Click Migration can now pull mail through Google and Microsoft APIs, not just IMAP.
◆ Current state
Tuta is an encrypted email, calendar and drive suite that ships one numbered build across web, desktop, Android and iOS. The 368.261109 build adds the option to open attachments while composing and lets One-Click Migration import from Gmail and Microsoft accounts through their APIs as well as IMAP. The rest of the batch is bug fixes: list selection flashing, spam rules not updating, alias deactivation for shared mailboxes and connection errors during migration.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible product work is aimed at switching: the migration tool keeps gaining source options and its error handling is getting attention, including the Proton Mail Bridge path. Releases fan out to every platform within hours, so most entries are the same fix list repeated per client.
◆ Prediction
Expect more migration fixes and sources in the next builds, plus follow-up patches like the November 10 mailto fix on the web app.
