Additional DetailsWe offer Free plan but your Chat MAU will be limited to your service 1,000 and you’ll be limited to send only test broadcasting messages. Q. How is the Chat MAU calculated? A. Chat MAU (monthly active user) is calculated as any user who has sent or received a messaging data using SendBird platform during 30 days. Q. What happens if my app’s popularity explodes and I go beyond the Chat MAU quota? A. We don't have hard ceilings to prevent the Chat MAU rate from exceeding the pricing plan's quota (except for with the Sandbox option), but you will be charged for additional users beyond the stated limit. If your app exceeds the Chat MAU quota, you will be charged $0.012/user with Sprout pricing, $0.011/user with Tree pricing, $0.010/user with Park pricing, and even lower with Enterprise pricing. Q. Can I change the credit card information to another one? A. You can change your credit information on your Dashboard > Billing page.

Bird (formerly MessageBird)
MessageBird seems to me a very useful tool for the times we are living [in] and the paradigm shift in corporate communications in all industries. It is very good at exchanging information and plain text. It works with some difficulty for sending images and other functionalities that the real WhatsApp application has, but the client on the other side does not know about this and sometimes sends information such as location that it is not possible to obtain.

We have a mix of Dialpad Support and regular Departments in Dialpad Support - we mostly use Dialpad Support for our high-volume area or areas we need to keep track of in more detail. In our smaller clinics, with few staff, Dialpad Support doesn't make sense to use to we have them setup as Departments instead.

SendBird
SendBird is well suited tool for those who are having sound technical knowledge and in-hand experience of app development and APIs. One might find it difficult to integrate if not having a technical team or a good technical background. Once implemented, using or management is not an issue. Startups having low budget might find it a little bit costier.

I have never had any issues with getting a problem resolved. The dialpad support team is responsive and extremely helpful. As busy as our business is getting, having the AI transcripts and call recordings aid us in being more task productive when helping patients. Other than the patient aspect of it, having no hardware maintenance is amazing

I always get great customer service when I need help. Even if i just decide to chat online instead of calling in. The reps are always so nice and the customer service is always amazing. I have never had any complaints. Usually my issues are pretty simple and they never make it harder than it needs to be

Alternatives Considered
Bird (formerly MessageBird)
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.

We looked at Aria, but we already had Dialpad Support and decided just to move forward with more features. I think the familiarity with the Dialpad app and the basic features made the addition of new features a much more seamless process rather than attempting to try dual software.

Return on Investment
Bird (formerly MessageBird)
  • Easy video calling for scheduled appointments has meant customer retention as they don't need specific software etc to have a call.
  • Negative impact whilst our internet has been slow as I've been unable to use the product well as dial in to the call using a phone option.
  • Emails reminders has meant more clients turning up for the calls leading to retained income and happier customers.

Dialpad
  • The callback feature has saved clients a lot of hold time
  • The voicemail system has allowed cases to be handled properly by client's being able to leave a message for the proper agent
  • The Ai transcript feature has helped dozens of agents, as well as the company, avoid a lot of hassle, time, and lost money due to verifying conversations and information that normally would be much harder to confirm without it
