Avochato vs. Heymarket

Well suited: Problem resolution, timely response, 1-many communicaiton, event triggered automation, allows reservationists to text multiple people at one time, and puts all the relevant decision making information in a link. Also allows us to have a written record of the conversation. Less Appropriate: Still cannot replace the Southern hospitality of a phone call. Sometimes texting reaches a point, where a phone call can solve fix, or figure it out quicker

Having a shared inbox is crucial for us, we cover 7 days a week from a PST-EST time zone so the whole team always needs to have visibility on conversations at all times. We also enjoy the fact that most functions of Heymarket are simple to use and don't require us to loop in tech help

• Schedules messages to be sent at specific times.

• The mobile app definitely could be better. Sometimes it crashes, and you can't see the tags or create new contacts, and it only lets you call and send and receive messages, but you can't take calls from the mobile app.

Incentivized

• It could be easier to set up campaigns
• Group texting is missing
• Can duplicate users

In my opinion, Heymarket is easy to use and has a nice, clean interface (much nicer than JustCall). The customization is nice and it is easy to create templates, schedule messages, send messages through API, etc. I cannot give it a 10 because, in my opinion, the mobile app is not very good, you cannot close API messages manually, and the Customer Service team lacks the ability to help without contacting management.

We never tried or used any other platform

Heymarket was easier to use and has had less errors than OpenPhone. While they do share many similar features (shared inbox, tagging users, simple to use) Heymarket has been a solid solution for us. I only wish we could also use it to make phone calls along side text messages

Incentivized

• Extremely positive. Very efficient style of communication.
• Excellent booking engine, very effective marketing option. Click to text.

Incentivized

• Faster and more personalized responses, which improve customer experience.
• Built-in opt-in/out management reduces the risk of non-compliance with regulations.
• Inability to auto-close API messages results in a lot of lost time for CS as they have to manually close every message sent through API.
• The cost, especially if we decide to send marketing messages, is rather high compared to other companies we have used.
