    I am responsible for responding to all reviews that are submitted for our company. We have over 200 locations and it would be time consuming to have to check each of these GMB profiles individually. Chatmeter provides a one-stop solution for quickly and efficiently managing our online reputation.

    SimpleTexting has been wonderful for the purposes for which we signed up. We wanted an easy-to-use platform that allowed 2-way texting, assigned a phone number, had the ability to collect phone numbers/contact easily (whether through an import or a user sign-up, spoiler SimpleTexting has both), etc. It has provided all of that and more easily, without a contract. And the platform is so easy to use for our team. One of the only issues we're having is wanting to expand our use of SimpleTexting, and using multiple options for texting (i.e., shortcode, toll-free, landline/business enabling) has been difficult on one account.

    • SimpleTexting provides excellent value based on their messaging packages but also by allowing its customers to utilize multiple keywords. This is helpful for our organization because we utilize this software across many different departments.
    • SimpleTexting analytics and reporting is a key strength of the software. The numbers they report weigh heavily on what we determine as a success of un-successful communication campaign.
    • SImpleTexting has excellent customer service available at the click of a button. Their team has always been available and offered solutions when we have had questions or run into a problem.

    Cons
    Chatmeter
    • The AI response tool is helpful, but should not be used without tweaks.
    • Some review platforms do not allow responding from within Chatmeter.
    • The social dashboards are not up-to-date with relevant metrics. Some posts show zero engagement when in reality, it has over 100 likes and 30 shares.

    • A lot of glitches and bugs, with promised fixes that keep dragging on for some time.
    • Mobile notifications are very buggy. You have to keep force-closing the app and re-opening it multiple times to get the notifications to refresh.
    • Constant toggling of 'Unread' and 'All' on mobile or desktop to get the notifications to clear and show up as opened, otherwise it will imply it's not read.
    • Also, sometimes new notifications don't show up.

    It's great overall. There's a few areas where improvements could be made. I've been pleased with the updates we've seen since we started using Chatmeter several years ago.

    With SimpleTexting updating little things here and there almost daily. We reach out to their support team constantly. They have one of the best response rates I have ever experienced! Normally it takes less than a minute to speak to a real person, but even if they are busy they have an answer bot send you articles to see if you can solve the issue yourself first! One of the best support teams ever

    Before we decided to go with Chatmeter, we looked strongly at Reputation.com. This was several years ago, so I am not as familiar with how they compare now, but at the time we felt that we could get the functionality we wanted and needed from Chatmeter at a better price than Reputation.com.

    SimpleTexting is just simple. From the pricing to the interface, it stacks up against the competition by just being as powerful and simple as possible. No extra distractions or confusion. For our company, we wanted texting software that we could easily upsell and integrate into our overall marketing campaigns and SimpleTexting did just that.
