Hustle was being used by my sales team, as well as a non-profit that I work for. We use it to get in touch with prospects at scale but while having personal conversations with them in a medium they don't get reached out by too often. I also used it for fundraising for a non-profit.
  • Personalized texting at scale.
  • Scrubbing numbers for cell phones with 99% accuracy.
  • Sends alerts so you never miss a notification.
  • Salesforce integration could be more fluid, but at least they have one.
  • An Outreach or Salesloft integration would be amazing with a Hustle step added to a cadence.
Great for sales, political, fundraising, and nonprofit outreach. You can engage with season ticket holders for renewal, reaching out to voters to ensure they know where to vote and when, fundraising for non-profits, universities, etc., as well as engaging with a community (any organization that has a following and would like to get in touch with them easily, it's great for!)
  • If it is being used for sales or fundraising, amazing ROI.
  • Used for engagement, great to keep a consistent following.
  • Not a very expensive tool at all.
I've heard of getthru.io (formerly Relay). Basically, it is just a copy of Hustle (maybe younger as well, not as experienced in the market). I didn't dive deep into their platform to get an idea of their capabilities or integrations. They do seem to have been (maybe) steadier on their feet in the market, but I'm not sure. Test both for yourself!
Amazing support staff. Whether you have a dedicated contact or just help from their support channel, they help clear issues very quickly.

Hustle is the one-to-one texting platform that we use at our organization to optimize communication between company and client. We can text all of our clients at once as needed, which helps streamline communication and get the message out faster across a medium that we know they are using and checking often.
  • Send a lot of texts quickly
  • Can be used as a team for responses
  • This is one of the more expensive options available
  • Wish there was more data to report on
Hustle is designed for those on the campaign trail trying to get the attention of people in the one way we know everyone would be available. While we are not running for office, the result is the same - get to a lot of people quickly via text message. What we've learned, though, is that, while it is more robust, it isn't always as easy to use as other text messaging services.
  • It has helped us get in front of new prospects easier.
  • It has improved communication with current customers.
Hustle is a bit of a different animal when compared to various enterprise texting platforms like EZ Texting, Textel, Textio, etc. It's the best bet when you're trying to grow a membership base and provide responsive customer care, but may not be the best option if you're trying to market the latest offers.
As a cloud-based web app, you can expect the typical software as a service communication channel for support. They offer generous support via phone, email, and chat. As with anything, some issues can be solved by googling the problem and finding a resolution that was explained in detail by another user.

Hustle is primarily used by Enrollment Services department and Student Success Coaches to communicate with prospective and current students about important information, deadlines, and events. While other services can only broadcast messages, Hustle enable two-way communication. The dialog between the sender and recipient allows for a more personal touch and lets us quickly answer questions.
  • Very easy to start using
  • Excellent customer service
  • Immediate results
  • Very nice mobile apps
  • Depending on the size of your contact list, the cost can get high
  • While you can use the service for almost any type of text messaging, some of the interface is definitely geared for political/event use.
Hustle is best suited for messages that require a response, like Yes/No for RSVP or asking if they need more info about a topic. We use Hustle to communicate with students in higher education to inform them about important information like upcoming payment deadlines or to encourage attendance at events like orientation.
  • We have seen higher response rates with messages sent from Hustle compared to email or social media.
We have also used RAVE and Google Voice to send text massages. RAVE does not allow for one-to-one communication with recipients an Google Voice does not let you easily communicate with list of contacts and lacks the interface for canned responses. Neither provides the quality reporting that is available in Hustle.
