> fundamental concern about the health of the company
Although Twilio has never turned a profit, they've cornered the "SMS via API" market and could theoretically start to turn one at any point.
- runako 4y ago> they've cornered the "SMS via API" market This is not true, except for first-time builders and those who do not send a lot of SMS. Twilio is a great on-ramp to the world of SMS via API, but at scale considerations beyond developer UX can become more important.
- malfist 4y agoSNS/Pinpoint is probably a much bigger player than they are
- decentrality 4y agoTelnyx has SMS via API cornered at scale for about half the cost: https://telnyx.com https://telnyx.com
- NoTelnyxBad 4y agoSpeaking as someone whose company uses Telnyx... Telnyx has too many incidents/problems to be worth replacing Twilio with. Would go with Bandwidth if you're looking for cheaper-than-Twilio-but-worse-tech.
- xeromal 4y agoI believe they mean cornered in the "What's the first thing that comes to mind when I need an SMS via API service". Those two are AWS and Twilio.
