Considered Both Products
Attentive
Chose Attentive
Attentive Mobile is better from a UI and reporting standpoint.
Chose Attentive
Attentive Mobile is more of a partner and a lot more hands on. The platform is very straight forward and tells you everything you need to know about your email and SMS programs. Attentive Mobile gives more concrete recommendations to better your program.
Chose Attentive
While ManyChat is specific to Facebook Messenger, my experience in their platform made it very easy to hit the ground running with Attentive Mobile. With the policy changes in the Messenger world, we have mostly abandoned that and moved to SMS for a direct line to customers. …
Chose Attentive
Attentive Mobile is much easier to use and easier to pull performance metric reports. I wish it was a bit easier to edit pop-ups and know what the total audience number is when you create a segment.
CallFire
Chose CallFire
EZ Texting... it's fine but more expensive. They do the same thing.
Chose CallFire
We also use CallRail in our agency but find that most of our needs are met by CallFire for less money.
Chose CallFire
Previously we used Vitelity, but its tracking capabilities are more limited.
Chose CallFire
We considered Trello before deciding on CallFire. Trello is a good service that seems to do much of what CallFire does, however we wanted to avoid the labor-hours necessary to get Trello up to speed, as it is very technically involved. We didn't want to hire any additional …
Chose CallFire
CallFire has a pricing structure that is attractive to us as a small business. The "pay as you use" options helps us keep our overhead low, especially with so many softwares already in our tech stack. It's a tremendous value for the cost!
Chose CallFire
I have not personally used any similar products.
Chose CallFire
CallFire has adapted and changed internally ever since I [have] used it. It is has become, quicker, cleaner and much easier to use. I haven't used any other systems, however I thoroughly enjoy the efficiency and ease to build custom campaigns in minutes. I highly recommend …
Chose CallFire
I haven't used any other products, but I am so pleased with CallFire that I will continue using this program.

If you need to find a test candidate for your client quickly, this is one of the best ways. Pull yourself a hot list of a couple hundred potential candidates and load them in to CallFire. Then get ready to hit about 50-60 calls per hour. You should have a great test candidate for your client in about 24 hours! It's amazing how quickly you can show your clients the true speed of your company.

Cons
  • More communication on ways to improve
  • More structure on calls with our account manager
  • More clarity on insights and new ideas
Read full review
  • The services are easy to use and robust, but there is room for improvement. Unfortunately, not much has changed over the last 2 years of use. There haven't been any new features or innovations in that time.
  • API integration and automation is not easy for most folks to jump into and there is very little technical support or documentation to take advantage of such features.
  • The standard reports are generally sufficient, but there isn't any customization or intelligence available.

Usability
Good usability and it is easy to train new employees on the platform since it is so intuitive. Love playing around with the segmentation tools and seeing how it affects audience size for deployments. Overall, a great UI experience.

Fast and easy to communicate with. I wish we went over more insights and analytics on our monthly calls with our account manger. This would really give us the push that we need in order to best utilize the platform as a whole.

Attentive Mobile has much stronger ROAS with SMS than ManyChat had with Facebook Messenger.

We considered Trello before deciding on CallFire. Trello is a good service that seems to do much of what CallFire does, however we wanted to avoid the labor-hours necessary to get Trello up to speed, as it is very technically involved. We didn't want to hire any additional developers just to get Trello set up and maintained. With CallFire, it was very intuitive and easy to setup quickly.
