Automated texting using google voice?
I doubt you'll find a free SMS texter. Textbelt seems to be low-hassle and open-source. There's an option for standing up your own server to make it "free". I'd look into email options as well. It looks like most carriers support some kind of email-to-text path.

Does SAAS arbitrage even work?
I was looking into some side project ideas and stumbled upon one called textbelt where the guy uses something like twilio in the backend and sell 10x per SMS. It is kinda arbitrage for SaaS products. This guy is legit and also has 5 to 10K $ per month stripe verified indiehackers project. More over he doesn’t even promote his product and moved on. Yet this is so popular enough to bring in 5k a month. Do you guys think its possible to reinvent something like this and promote to make a worthwhile side project ?
