Why Plivo Cloud is better than Twilio (clintberry.com)

SMS pricing is competitive and I like it.

But unfortunately its only for USA. So still Twillo rocks for me.


We will be launching International SMS soon. Stay tuned :)


Cool. Yes. Looking for that.


We're building a comprehensive phone system for our business, and it's entirely built on top of plivo. It rocks!


So, does this mean that I can use my existing IP hard phones and control them via plivo cloud?


Yes definitely.. We have quite a few customers already doing this.


Anybody tried nexmo.com? Pricing looks ok. International friendly.


Twilio's new international SMS is roughly comparable with Nexmo's. Nexmo's is slightly cheaper in our comparisons. Twilio's docs/dashboard/etc. are far better. (I used to work at Twilio and am a happy customer of theirs at IFTTT)


Not a fan of Nexmo. Pricing is higher than Twilio, deliverability is noticeably worse, and their service uptime is pretty rough.

Looks like the blog post is down. Good things won't remain down for long :)


Back up now :)
