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.

HighLevel
HighLevel is a great "all round" system for managing marketing campaign, for both your own business and for the campaigns of clients. It has all the tools you need to build and run campaigns successfully. It is less well suited for specialized services, such as building landing pages and the the fast load of those pages.

HighLevel
HighLevel is a great tool, and is a real "all rounder" that helps agencies keep costs down and profits high. It really does serve the majority of marketing agency needs, but it does fall down slightly on some specialist areas, where a dedicated CRM would be best for example. It can be a little tricky to use and buggy, which does cause some frustration sometimes.

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.

HighLevel
HighLevel is all-in-one, so varying functions of the aforementioned tools are all covered by HighLevel, albeit not as robust as each of them when stacked against their features and functions. But since small businesses usually would not have that deep need, HighLevel is the cost-effective solution that puts everything in one place.

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.
