    Heymarket
    Having a shared inbox is crucial for us, we cover 7 days a week from a PST-EST time zone so the whole team always needs to have visibility on conversations at all times. We also enjoy the fact that most functions of Heymarket are simple to use and don't require us to loop in tech help

    MobileMonkey would be great if you have a really strong social media presence and want to capitalize on people visiting your pages. It's great if you have a tech friendly audience who is not afraid to talk to a chatbot. If you have an audience where they might be uncomfortable or more of an "uptight" audience then it might not be fore you. It's also not great for heavy B2B if your focus is on high level targets as they're likely not logged in to Facebook at work. B2C is probably the best function for MobileMonkey, although it could be used to help field support messages.

    • Terrible marketing ethics!
    • 6am phone calls to my cell trying to up-sell me
    • Spam galore! I have replied more than 5 times to be unsubscribed, yet they still spam me

    Usability
    Heymarket
    In my opinion, Heymarket is easy to use and has a nice, clean interface (much nicer than JustCall). The customization is nice and it is easy to create templates, schedule messages, send messages through API, etc. I cannot give it a 10 because, in my opinion, the mobile app is not very good, you cannot close API messages manually, and the Customer Service team lacks the ability to help without contacting management.

    MobileMonkey support is second to none when you have a paid plan. Always willing to help and make your life a lot easier when you're facing any technical difficulties or frustrations. When I was on the free plan, I found plenty of useful resources that helped me solve my problems, and I could still contact support for help.

    Heymarket
    Heymarket was easier to use and has had less errors than OpenPhone. While they do share many similar features (shared inbox, tagging users, simple to use) Heymarket has been a solid solution for us. I only wish we could also use it to make phone calls along side text messages

    MobileMonkey is a lot less expensive than both Olark and Drift. We chose MobileMonkey because we were hoping the familiar interface and integration between social and the website would drive more interest which would lead to conversion and revenue. It's more of a chatbot than Intercom in that Intercom is really good for customer support, but MM is a nice way to get people interested by sharing high level data through a conversation that doesn't require a real person. However, Olark, Drift, and Intercom all integrate with the major CRMs and marketing automation platforms which gives them a real edge over MobileMonkey at this time.

    Return on Investment
    Heymarket
    • Faster and more personalized responses, which improve customer experience.
    • Built-in opt-in/out management reduces the risk of non-compliance with regulations.
    • Inability to auto-close API messages results in a lot of lost time for CS as they have to manually close every message sent through API.
    • The cost, especially if we decide to send marketing messages, is rather high compared to other companies we have used.

    MobileMonkey
    • It has become a quick sunk-cost due to the amount of time I had to spend ignoring/blocking their unsolicited marketing/communication attempts.
