Lob
Lob has always been able to show us our mailing and projected volume very timely and accurately, and has consistently delivered solutions in the majority of cases. However, due to the complexity and variability of the insurance industry, unique situations occasionally arise that may fall outside their current capacity or operational model.

Reachdesk
It is well suited for employees that are sending products, samples, gift cards, or swag to customers, prospects, or partners constantly. It helps speed up and streamline that process a considerable amount. This helps with brand recognition, onboarding new partners, and keeping customers happy! This has helped my company increase sales activity and increase business as well.

Usability
Lob
In my opinion, the admin usability is horrendous. Specifically when looking for specific mailers, the search and pagination UI requires back end loading, it doesn't allow opening in new browser windows, it doesn't remember state when clicking into mailer requiring you to search again. I've started using Claude Code integrated with the API instead of clicking through the Admin UI because, in my experience, it is so hard to use.

Alternatives Considered
Lob
Root keeps Lob because it is already deeply integrated into our systems, and replacing it would require significant engineering effort with limited expected cost savings. As well as the unknowns that come with other options, switching vendors would likely require a significant multi-quarter effort without clear cost savings or efficiency gains.

We selected Reachdesk because from a capability standpoint, they were very similar but Reachdesk had much better pricing.

it can be better because the volume pricing method doesn't benefit the clients much but lob itself
