Exotel vs. Plivo

Exotel is well suited for: - Small and mid-sized Internet based businesses where it is necessary for them to have a very strong customer support team working round the clock and in different shifts. - Company making large number of calls and sending mass SMS's. They can do that on a single cloud based platform. Exotel might not be a good fit if: -it is not a call intensive business that you want to cater to. Though the setup cost is very low but it follows economies of scale i.e. more the number of calls, less will be per call cost.

For cold calling and outbound callings, to a certain extend Exotel serves the purpose as mutliple DID numbers are available at our fingertips. For company which use outcalling as a form of passing information to users can benefit from the flexibility it provides. They have a recharge and use model which doesnt have certain expiry. Basic API documentation available and lesser support from their support team on this matter makes it difficult to check if the API thows any error

They deserve a 10+ rating starting from signing up to implementing their services. I am not the best person to get computer tasks done and this company made it a breeze.

Initially they had chat support which was available faster. But now the chat support gets routed to a virtual agent and unable to get in touch with an actual agent. They also have no support with respect to the API's and other integrations.
