Liftoff vs. Waterfall

I think for mainstream ecommerce, the sites are super quick to spin up, easy to use, and fit the bill for most asks. The challenge can be when you need something more customized. I think they have the ability to basically do anything you need but they don't necessarily have the bandwidth to get it all done when you need it.

For large organizations that are looking to build big, robust SMS programs and want the benefit of a CRM back-end for managing users and messaging.

• Continual site/system improvements
• Ease of Use
• Ability to spin up stores quickly

• Customer service. You have your own point of contact. They are very supportive and helpful. They always respond quickly.
• Their deep non-profit discount.
• Their message schedules. Very flexible and it can be a relative schedule to say a pregnant woman's due date and someone's goal date for quit smoking, etc.

Incentivized

• Data Uploads could be easier
• Customer service is strong but they have been inundated lately which means responses are sometimes slow
• Custom deployments take a while again because they are so behind

Incentivized

• Some features require additional cost. The nature of growth means the product becomes more expensive and that is a problem for some buyers.

They are very similar actually. What I like about Liftoff though is that we don't have to use 3rd party applications to do what we need which can add up super quickly. If we are in need of customer service, the staff is knowledgeable about everything since the functions are native functions.

We had EZTexting before. They don't have relative scheduling message so we had to switch to another vendor. We checked into SMS Magic, but they were not very responsive to our sales inquiry and then we received some phone call from India from someone who's very hard to communicate with.

Incentivized

• Less double data entry thanks to the uploads
• Easier to use interface allows our staff to just work on the job rather than trying to figure out how to work on the job
• Allows us to scale more easily instead of relying on a one-person developer team

Incentivized

• We have worked with several clients to help them launch and grow their SMS program and the platform helps us doing cutting edge work in this space.
