    ClickSend supports live chats, where instant messaging is done for both formal or informal discussions. Besides, proper management of tasks, from the simplified ones to the complex ones, and every player is well assigned. The option of bar code in this application ensures there is the automation of many tasks and reduces paperwork.

    Very well suited for those getting started with SMS campaigns. It was easy for everyone on our team to pick up and get going without a lot of training. If you have mobile number lists in the hundreds of thousands I can see how it would be tough to manage with the lists, keywords, etc. I could be wrong as we are not in that space but that would be my assumption.

    Pros
    ClickSend
    • You can add list of users just by uploading numbers CSV or by uploading detailed CSV.
    • You can generate quick campaigns just like in email, save templates with URLs, send immediately, or schedule for a certain date and hour. They have analytics, shared, and private numbers. I like that it is super straightforward.
    • You can make automated campaings that will be sent every time a new user joins a list. This you can do with 3rd-party integrations such as your own app or Zapier since ClickSend already has this integration.
    • Super cheap and it's what I like most. You pay for SMS in bulk with really competitive prices. Most SMS companies want to charge by the number of users, and when you have 32,000 active users or +130,000 users it just becomes expensive so ClickSend is the SMS solution.
    • In general, using ClickSend is quick and the learning curve for new users is flat since it's almost the same as an email marketing tool just for SMS and compressed.

    • User friendly interface
    • A good resource for making sure we maintain compliance with all the privacy policies
    • The text-to-join feature looks awesome. That is the one we are hoping to get started soon.

    Cons
    ClickSend
    • At times, the length of the text can feel quite short to keep it under a certain price.
    • Links sent through ClickSend are often marked as spam.

    • Easy to find resources for short codes
    • The current automation is nice for beginners but it's not terribly sophisticated for experienced users
    • Minimal integrations to this point but I'm sure more are on the way

    Very easy to use. Intuitive website that our entire team has been able to quickly pick up. In my opinion it is the most user friendly interface of all the software we did demos with.

    Support Rating
    ClickSend
    In general, support is good. Actually they usually write to you about things like when you upload your first contacts, send your first campaign, or when you forget to put the opt-out option. Of course, they are automated emails but it happens that if you reply to one of them a real support agent will attend to your case. If you have any doubt you can write directly to support by email. I'm not sure if they are using Zendesk or any other kind of program but they usually answer in less than 2 hours. Still, the option of an actual real-time chat is missing.

    ClickSend is okay but limited in functionality as compared to HighLevel. HighLevel has more functionality and it is at a reasonable price point everyone. Apart from that support are the same for most platform and it is really great to have something that is easy to start using. Most important decision that someone have to make is what they want in these software.

    We felt SlickText was the most user friendly, budget friendly, and we liked the fact that they didn't balk at the fact we wanted to go month to month to start so we didn't end up in a long term commitment right out of the gate.

    Return on Investment
    ClickSend
    • The ROI is time. More time focused, less time distracted with a mobile device.
    • Early days, however the customer survey and marketing campaigns will hopefully yield results.
    • Customer adherence to appointments and/or rescheduling for missed appointments has drastically increased with the use of reminder and follow-up SMS options that normally wouldn't be used as often on a mobile device.

    SlickText
    • We are receiving a click through rate anywhere between 12-20% on our renewal reminder texts
    • Those people who click have a conversion rate of around 50% which is the best of any of the campaigns we run
    • One negative could be if we start to use the tool for promotional texts then there may be a negative impact on the member experience. Need to use it in moderation
