We are using Tropo with Heroku for the MVP.
- dsr_ 14y agoTropo is driving your costs up, compared to people with real servers running SER and similar call routers.
- tylermenezes 14y agoRunning their own servers is so far out of the range of MVP it's laughable.
- sciurus 14y agoI work on the devops team for Voxeo Labs, the company behind Tropo, so I resent the implication that we don't have real servers. :-) More seriously, I'm familiar with the Tropo API and know that no matter what direction this product goes, Tropo is a capable platform to build it on.
- dsr_ 14y agoI'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that Tropo wasn't capable. I meant that at scale, it's more expensive than building your own.
- tylermenezes 14y agoTry Plivo instead - it's about a third of your current cost. $3/month is dramatically better than $10. http://plivo.com/pricing/ http://plivo.com/pricing/ (Disclaimer: I was in the same YC batch as Plivo. I do really like the service compared to Twilio or Tropo.)
- mikenereson 14y agoThe header of your blog has a link without the www subdomin. It doesn't work.
- sciurus 14y agoGood catch! We're fixing this now.
