"Plivo is not a direct competitor with developer-friendly Twilio, but is targeting larger businesses in need of scale." I'm confused how this is different from Twilio - my understanding is that Twilio gets most of their revenue from large businesses in need of scale, as well.

This is a great question to ask the right people :)

  If you get bored, could you explain what a carrier is in this context? AT&T? I presume you're the founder Venky?

    Hey earl, yes i am one of the founders. Yes, carriers here would be AT&T or Level3 etc..

One of the features that I feel sets it apart from Twilio (but that admittedly isn't very well documented) is that you can configure an application to be direct-dial. In layman's terms, you can use Plivo via SIP for an internal phone system and configure how different numbers/extensions are handled when dialed from the SIP phone.
