Likelihood to Recommend	MessageBird MessageBird seems to me a very useful tool for the times we are living [in] and the paradigm shift in corporate communications in all industries. It is very good at exchanging information and plain text. It works with some difficulty for sending images and other functionalities that the real WhatsApp application has, but the client on the other side does not know about this and sometimes sends information such as location that it is not possible to obtain.

Cons	MessageBird It does not accept all the functions of whatsapp It has no integration with the Pipedrive CRM Sometimes it doesn't work in real time, leaving clients waiting in an invisible "queue" Incentivized PR Pablo Ritchie Product Manager Read full review	Sinch (formerly CLX Communications) Technical information availability.

Alternatives Considered	MessageBird Twilio prices were much higher for our initial volume (30k SMS/month). But they have more APIs and more services if you need to integrate email, SMS, and other channels. We didn't need those features, only basic SMS and email, so we kept each feature from one provider.
