Twilio vs Sendbird vs CONTUS MirrorFly Comparsion

Looking out for the best in app chat solution providers to enhance your business.

Getting confused with so many options to choose among  Sendbird and Twilio competitors. 

Then, let’s have some clarity with a detailed discussion over the feature comparison to go for the best Twilio and Sendbird alternative.

Why is a Twilio Alternative needed?

Twilio is a leading provider in cloud communication platform that deals with SMS and whatsapp messaging. Recently it has made a shift to conversational API but is still lagging behind when compared to other competitors. This is so as instead of investing in conversational API applications, it has just upgraded the existing application of programmable chat API.

Now, let’s have look at some of the features that can prove the need of twilio alternative for the better business,

1. Limitations to the Dominance of Twilio

This point can be explained well with an illustration of European Union. However, this region has restrictions when it comes to data exchange with the US. 

But as per GDPR, the data transfer from US to EU should be safe as they help in regulating the data transfers.

Twilio is moving fine with the European Union until the EU court's latest ruling, where it is illegal to use a US-based cloud service provider, even if it does contain a physical server in Europe. 

Thus Twilio got trapped in, that has made several European companies look for a Twilio alternative.

2. SMS API delivery notification

This feature most often does not work properly. Mostly, whenever the SMS was not sent from a web application, Twilio still shows that as a delivered message.

For example, using Twilio's this feature, some of the telecom operators in Russia used a grey scheme via which they need to notify the recipients. But Twilio’s this feature will automatically mark the status as a ‘message delivered’ without being sent.  

3. Highest Pricing

Twilio offers communication API services at a very high cost i.e., the total cost of the ownership(TCO) with Twilo is much expensive whereas the same service is provided at a very affordable price by the other Twilio alternative.
