Additional Details

Dexatel uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model for all messaging channels, including SMS, WhatsApp, Viber, RCS, Telegram, and Voice. There are no sign-up fees or monthly subscriptions. Country-based rates: Message prices vary by the destination country. Volume discounts: The more messages you send, the lower your per-message cost. Fair billing: You only pay for successfully delivered messages. Flexible payments: Pay by credit card, PayPal, or bank transfer without stored payment details. To estimate costs, use Dexatel’s online pricing calculator on Dexatel's website. Select the country (or countries) where you’ll be sending messages and the system will show an approximate price per message based on location and volume. Final costs depend on recipients’ countries and monthly volume with loyalty benefits available for long-term customers.

Considered Both Products	Bird Verified User Anonymous Chose Bird I use 24sessions predominantly as I have large discount with it and it works for scheduling clients. The user interface is helpful for past meetings. 24sessions is click and go - no account or software is needed for the client. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Bird Twilio prices were much higher for our initial volume (30k SMS/month). But they have more APIs and more services if you need to integrate email, SMS, and other channels. We didn't need those features, only basic SMS and email, so we kept each feature from one provider. Email … Incentivized Helpful? PR Pablo Ritchie Product Manager Chose Bird Regarding WhatsApp Business, it is a very useful tool because templates can be programmed for the entire organization and clients can also be referred to other users in order to decongest an agent who can become quite busy.

User Testimonials
	Bird	Dexatel
Likelihood to Recommend	24sessions is perfect for appointments such as coaching (my use case) where you want them to be able to go into your booking calendar, choose a time and schedule the appointment - or to schedule it from your end. They they get an email on creation and reminder email. I find it not helpful or at least, not at all intuitive, for setting up a host created meeting immediately. You can create it so you can be live at anytime, but host created isn't as any to set up Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Users can transfer a client to another user without a particular permission It allows you to control the communication of our agents and their activity. It gives us a feeling of closeness to our clients who, due to their work activity, cannot answer the phone Incentivized PR Pablo Ritchie Product Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Recording feature being available again Faster call set for spur of the moment, host initiated calls No ability to call in using a phone for those without internet/low speed access. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Regarding WhatsApp Business, it is a very useful tool because templates can be programmed for the entire organization and clients can also be referred to other users in order to decongest an agent who can become quite busy. Otherwise there would be no way to serve you through two agents and you could have a bad end user or customer experience.
