Emotive.io vs. Textedly

After using Emotive.io for the last year, I honestly can't think of anything they helped us with besides cost half the price of our previous SMS provider. But when compared to other brands on the market, I still believe Emotive.io is overpriced and offers poor performance.

I have used Textedly for several years. But recently, in my opinion their commitment to customers and customer service has dramatically declined. They made recent updates to their platform and dramatically increased prices without contacting existing customers. The price of my existing plan increased a significant amount. I have requested that the messages I have purchased be made available to my business and they will not release them until a certain date. When I contacted customer support and ask for resolution, the staff do not answer my questions or offer alternative solutions. I have requested that my account be closed and a refund of the 11 months that I have not used. They will not work with me and only offer that I pay for a higher priced plan or purchase additional messages at a very, very high rate. Please do not use this company. They are no longer considering the needs of customers that have been with them for several years.

From my experience, their customer service has been disappointing. They have not been willing to work with me and my needs. When pricing was significantly increased, I was not informed of this in advance. It simply increased and I discovered it by accident while reviewing my subscription.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm just overlooking something because it's so easy to use. It literally took no time to be up and running with this program.

When I ask questions to customer service, the questions are not all answered. They do not come back with alternative suggestions for me and my subscription. They are not rude but only provide standard "answers" that it appears they have been coached to give

Postscript is more expensive, and worked well for a while, but not really worth the cost. Attentive is cheaper than Emotive and Postscript, and they are performing 10x better than both combined
