Swrve vs. Twilio Zipwhip (discontinued)

If you're looking for mobile segmentation, CRM, multivariate testing, then Swrve is the way to go. It's not a great analytics platform, but it's improving on that front.

Zipwhip is well suited for brief communication at scale. Our Fan services reps after close to 1,000 accounts, and this allows them to get out quick messages at scale. It is less appropriate for longer messages where email or a phone call is the better route to reach out.

• I would like the quick-use app that pulls from the taskbar to be able to hold more characters- It can only do 250 while the main screen can do 600.
• The ability to send video through this program would significantly enhance its functionality for us.

It was very easy for users to use, straight forward, and user friendly. The desktop app is very basic but easy to reply to an incoming text, but the user had to know to allow Chrome notifications to see new incoming text via the web browser, which is how they mainly used it.

Swift response time, multiple people have been willing to help with any issue, really anything you could be looking for from a service standpoint, they offer.

Localytics' Analytics interface was more simple to use, but we chose Swrve primarily for the messaging capabilities and the analytics were a bonus. We found Swrve's messaging to be far superior to Localytics and really benefitted from the Eloqua integration so that we could control all our communications from the same platform

We hadn't really looked at other services before choosing Zipwhip as there were not a lot of test-to-landline companies when we began looking. The price was right and the customer service was amazing. It was easy to learn the software and to onboard our entire team. When we began letting our customers know about the new texting capability we had, they were curious about it and grew to love it. Because we're able to link it with their trip, they not only can receive status updates but also a link to our GPS, so they can see where their chauffeur and vehicle are in real-time, along with a photo of the chauffeur and the vehicle. This function is perhaps our corporate clients' most favorite feature as they don't have to call to see where the vehicle for their VIP is; they can watch it in real-time. For group work, Zipwhip lets us send the program manager customized updates for all of their booked trips. This is such a time saver in so many ways. Time is money and for a small business, there are many ways that this helps. Our employees spend less time on the phone and productivity is increased. Texting is great too as it serves as documentation should any issues arise.
