Delivra vs. SMS.to

As far as I know, Delivra is the only email marketing software that allows for every instance of a personalized email to be bcc'ed to an internal email address. This is a niche feature, but can be very useful for companies that need detailed records of all client communication for posterity.

SMS.to is ideal when you have a large number of users and you need to be charged by SMS delivered not by number of users. Let's put an example other solutions out there wanted us to pay user or contact which is illogican for a product that has more than 100K users because it doesn't matter if you send no message or you send 10 messages they will charge you per contact in the other hand solutions as SMS.to they will charge per SMS delivered which makes really economic the scenario specially if you only send to specific segments of contacts by making use of contact lists. A least appropiate scenario is when you need to send emergency/urgent SMS because for some resaon the SMS in this platform will be sent after 20-30 minutes even an hour I ignore why it happens but that's why we always try to schedule our campaigns and be sure they are generic marketing messages. For emergency/urgent SMS is recommended to use another platform.

• User-friendly - once I understood the platform better, it took only a few minutes for me to prepare the reminder based on the survey invitation.
• Trustworthy - I could trust that my emails were sent successfully.
• Had the necessary tools - I only used a few of the features, but the ones I did use were easy to implement for the emails.

• Bulk messaging.
• Easy to send notifications to customers.
• With SMS.to, it is easy to market our business thanks to the ability to send promotional messages.
• It's easy to use and affordable.

• The contact database is not easy to navigate and we are limited by the number of contact categories we can create, and the ones we can delete. When personalizing emails it is hard to see past all the unneeded database properties to find the ones I want to include.
• Every time I log in from https://www.delivra.com/ it opens a second window with the app and leaves the first window. It should go directly to the app in the same window.
• Within the app, you can't open links in new tabs for easy comparison between different files/versions. It would be nice to have one email open and be able to easily open a different draft "in a new tab" without having to open a new window, log in again, and navigate to the needed file.

• Inbound SMSs not yet available in my country
• API Intergration, it is a bit complicated and i had to get a developer to help me understand it all

I had the ability to manually suppress who I wanted to send the email to, as well as individually send a link to members/customers without depending on Qualtrics ability to "send to non-survey respondents."

I already pointed out this but basically we decided to go with SMS.to because 2 reasons:

1. It can be paid with paypal (first reason) we have some bad experience with other products because payment gateways may suddenly block your cards and you're unable to pay even if you want to use the service so when we saw that SMS.to has Paypal payment we just decided to go for this option.

2. You pay per message and not per contact this is ideal other platforms will ask you a monthly fee for marketing features that you're not looking plus paying per SMS or per contact we were just looking a straight forward software in order to send SMS campaigns.

• Delivra has been well suited to the needs of a particular client, and allowed for campaigns to be executed in line with their needs.
• Delivra is another tool in our company's email marketing/marketing automation toolbox that can be used when needed or at a different price point from other platforms.
• Overall, we haven't widely deployed Delivra.

• Easy communication.
• Better engagements thanks to fast delivery of messages.
• It's a great marketing software.
