You can achieve so much if you know what you're doing. You can create a call center and monitor everything, including recordings. SMS marketing, ringless voicemail, etc.. > > **Cons**: As you scale, it gets very expensive (no discounts at all for loyalty). Zapier is losing its market share to Make, Pipedream, and Pabbly. Soon the same will happen to Twilio. > > You have to build your own interface to use the Twilio API. Or pay for a software that can use the API, which is easier and cheaper. The Twilio interface only allows you to monitor usage, create reports, billing management, and program IVR. It doesn't provide an interface for your sales team to use. ----- ### "Great solution to phone campaigns" — 4.0/5 > **Josh** | *May 19, 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Twilio makes it easy to configure campaigns for phone numbers and services. The approval process takes time, but works great once everything is approved. > > **Cons**: The configuration can be a little tedious getting the campaign and everything situated.. be prepared to configure it a couple of times. ----- ### "Only use it because its required in our CRM" — 3.0/5 > **Megan** | *January 8, 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it connects to our CRM and sends automated messages > > **Cons**: I do not like how hard it was to get our A2P registration set up and the back and forth with the support team, I don't like the cost on top of everything else we pay for and the website itself is not user-friendly ----- ### "Brilliant and seamless." — 4.0/5 > **Gideon** | *March 31, 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Amazing integration capabilities and easy in setting up of the software. > > **Cons**: Pricing of the software is far much higher compared to that of Wati. Developer should consider lowering its implementation cost. > > We have not had problems, the software guarantees continuity. ----- ### "Twilio is best in class, but at a cost" — 4.0/5 > **Pat** | *May 22, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Twilio is the strongest messaging application for our product suite and makes the user experience seamless > > **Cons**: Twilio costs are a bit high, making the cost hard to stomach as a company continues to scale. Others will get competitive on price. > > Twilio has been a great partner and has helped us grow and expand our product capabilities. But the cost continues to rise too. ----- Page: 1 / 21\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/90610/twilio-communications-platform?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/90610/twilio-communications-platform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
