Pros

“Twilio provides the layer of programmable voice api, it means you can use their sdk to build an messaging and calling application easily, it starts cheap and for small scale of application, it is very good.”

Shuchun Y.

Software Engineer

“On the whole, we do appreciate the ability to send SMS out to our constituents and once the connections are setup, it is set it and forget it, but the initial setup is difficult.”

Bonnie B.

Digital Systems Manager

“The integration process is well designed, and the available SDKs make it easy to build SMS, voice, and WhatsApp features into applications.”

Muhammed A.

Technical Project Manager

Pros

“Sakari stood out as a promising option.”

Alaa S.

CEO

“I know for a fact that I only have less than 500 contacts and that the beginner one can handle.”

Lyndon A.

Founder

“I have signed up for a $16 plan to text it out.”

Lyndon A.

Founder

Cons

“The slow support response caused unnecessary delays to our project and prevented us from using the platform as planned. While Twilio has excellent technology, the onboarding experience needs significant improvement for business customers.”

Muhammed A.

Technical Project Manager

“Their customer verification process is unnecessarily burdensome and inefficient. Despite providing complete details about my LLC, business purpose, and intended use case in my initial response, I received identical verification requests from three different support representatives [sensitive content hidden], each asking for the exact same information.”

Justin B.

Manager

“The phone number I purchased has been unusable (returning busy signals when called) while this verification process drags on. When I attempt to test my configured flow, it doesn't work, likely because the account verification is pending.”

Justin B.

Manager

Cons

“I've been getting bad support as a new customer for six weeks.”

James B.

President

“Awful.”

James B.

President

“Not reliable at all and can't talk with a human over the phone or chat , they took more than 1 week to answer and did not even reply to my questions.”

Gaspard V.
