Would you be willing to share more about your experience with these companies? I have a client evaluating Twilio alternatives due to skyrocketing costs, and some of these companies are on the list.
- jagtstronaut 3y agoI work at bandwidth and would also love to know what you don’t like with messaging at least.
- sparrish 3y agoWe've used Twilio, Nexmo (now Vonage), and Plivo for years. Twilio is still our go-to for US SMS. Nexmo has great international deliverability but is more expensive than Plivo. Plivo works fine when it works. When it doesn't, their support is horrible. Most times I don't even bother opening a ticket anymore. I just switch the customer to Nexmo. I tried A2P 10DLC registration on Twilio when it first came out and our deliverability went to less than 50%. I quickly switched if off. They're all going to start requiring A2P 10DLC registration for US SMS within a few months. It's going to be painful to get timely SMS delivered.
- cvalka 3y agoThe companies I mentioned are substantially inferior in terms of engineering compared to twilio. Plus twilio is more transparent and trustworthy f.e. with porting out numbers. Voxbone is a Russian cheaper twilio clone. Plivo is an Indian cheaper twilio clone. Bandwith is a disaster. You just need to get a single look at their control panel which they won't show to you unless you're a paying customer.
