Simple setup of push messages + automations Most important push + reporting features available Friendly and individual customer support Regular launch + optimization of features High customer engagement over Airship Read full review You can add list of users just by uploading numbers CSV or by uploading detailed CSV. You can generate quick campaigns just like in email, save templates with URLs, send immediately, or schedule for a certain date and hour. They have analytics, shared, and private numbers. I like that it is super straightforward. You can make automated campaings that will be sent every time a new user joins a list. This you can do with 3rd-party integrations such as your own app or Zapier since ClickSend already has this integration. Super cheap and it's what I like most. You pay for SMS in bulk with really competitive prices. Most SMS companies want to charge by the number of users, and when you have 32,000 active users or +130,000 users it just becomes expensive so ClickSend is the SMS solution. In general, using ClickSend is quick and the learning curve for new users is flat since it's almost the same as an email marketing tool just for SMS and compressed.

Make it easier to manager an account with multiple apps Data in PA tool often loads very slowly Streamline journey steps Read full review At times, the length of the text can feel quite short to keep it under a certain price. Links sent through ClickSend are often marked as spam. Read full review Usability Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
The interface takes a bit getting used to in order to know how to take advantage of everything. Some of the analytics that are available are particularly hard to find, so it's important to pay attention when customer support reviews everything, but everything I'd want and need in terms of Push and In-App messaging is all there.

I have not had to interact much with customer support as I have been able to find the vast majority of the answers I'm looking for within their documentation, which I very much appreciate because it saves me a lot of time. Customer support has been responsive and helpful for the most part during the couple of interactions I've had.
Read full review In general, support is good. Actually they usually write to you about things like when you upload your first contacts, send your first campaign, or when you forget to put the opt-out option. Of course, they are automated emails but it happens that if you reply to one of them a real support agent will attend to your case. If you have any doubt you can write directly to support by email. I'm not sure if they are using Zendesk or any other kind of program but they usually answer in less than 2 hours. Still, the option of an actual real-time chat is missing.

Airship is superb in customer support against all others. Even though I feel
CleverTap may be a better choice but probably will not be as easy as Airship when setting them up and operating it. As for
MoEngage , the last experience I had was simply not good enough, but that was more than two years ago in my region.
Read full review ClickSend is okay but limited in functionality as compared to
HighLevel .
HighLevel has more functionality and it is at a reasonable price point everyone. Apart from that support are the same for most platform and it is really great to have something that is easy to start using. Most important decision that someone have to make is what they want in these software.

It's had a positive impact on engagement. It helps lend credibility to our product given that major sites like CNN, AP, ESPN, etc. have push notifications. I have not come across any negative impacts. Read full review The ROI is time. More time focused, less time distracted with a mobile device. Early days, however the customer survey and marketing campaigns will hopefully yield results. Customer adherence to appointments and/or rescheduling for missed appointments has drastically increased with the use of reminder and follow-up SMS options that normally wouldn't be used as often on a mobile device.
