Twilio SMS feature never fails and never over charges

Great experience with the app from UI/UX perspective and customer support.

Pros

I like the pay-as-you-go subscription model the most. The API integration is also smooth and easy. The knowledge base has all the steps/guide we need to implement and roll out.

Cons

Nothing that I can think of or have experienced.

Only use it because its required in our CRM

Pros

I like that it connects to our CRM and sends automated messages

Cons

I do not like how hard it was to get our A2P registration set up and the back and forth with the support team, I don't like the cost on top of everything else we pay for and the website itself is not user-friendly

Best overall omnichannel messaging app

The application is hands down the best, but their sales team is a bit pushy. The customer service is fairly good.

Pros

They have the best UI for omnichannel messaging for SMS, MMS, RCS, WhatsApp and conversational AI. Everything works together quite nicely, and their pricing is quite good for what you get.

Cons

It can be very overwhelming to use if you're not an advanced A2P communications user. My clients do not enjoy using it, but they love the results they receive from it once they delegate it to someone else.

Twillio for Business

My overall experience with Twillio has been great.

Pros

I like that Twillio integrates with my CRM

Cons

I don't like that Twillio plays music when calling out from my CRM instead of hearing the phone ringing.
