   Thanks for the questions, I'll do my best... 1. The API is certainly one of our suite of features, you can also use SendHub via the web or any sms enabled cell phone. We expect to see more competition in the space and will be doing our best

   We think the Twilio API is great but there's lot of features you might need for your app that aren't built in and that SendHub's api provides, for example: we have an inbox with threads so you don't need to build an endpoint to receive mess

   I think the same could be argued for Heroku and EC2 - no?

   Thanks, we didn't build the API with CORS in mind but if you have suggestions or use cases, we're always open to making it easier for developers.

   We're built on the Twilio API, we add a lot of features that you'd need to build yourself otherwise, like: sending and receiving messages, contact management, scheduled messages etc.

    We love the Twilio api too, but you still have to write a lot of code to make it fully functional for your app, our api takes a lot of that need away. For example, what happens if someone calls the number you send your text from? We have se

    We add a lot of extra features on top of the twilio api, like: send and receive messages, context for conversations, scheduled messages and contact management.
