As nice as it would be to have all my messaging in one app rather than across a half dozen, I just can't picture paying a monthly fee to do it.

I'm not sure what the business model is here (I have no interest in iMessage) but unlike the previous ones this solution doesn't require a Mac mini farm. Messages are sent directly from the Android device.

So it doesn't require a monthly fee to be profitable.

Might be good for business owners, having a single inbox.

Exactly, either setting themselves as an alternative to Twilio, or to be acquired by them. Companies will pay more than $2/month/user for customer engagement on all platforms.
