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 CleverTap
Intercom did the messaging part to users within our app very well. However, its pricing is prohibitive for a B2B company and the USP is more chat focussed. However, it may work for some high-value B2B scenarios. At our scale, we need something much more in-depth and affordable.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

[In my opinion] It's [CleverTap] not appropriate for starter businesses. It's appropriate for businesses with very strong in-house tech teams to maneuver challenges on their own because after deep integration one can't expect Clevertap Support to be much helpful [from my experience]. It is good in the sense that you need one tool for all-around communications and analytics. However, they have moved away from the events container system, but those still on the events container are neither automatically educated nor transitioned into their new tiers of pricing. I find this a lack of effort of the sales team. So, you are on your own after the implementation.

Pros
  • CallFire has amazing organization as far as categories and campaigns and all aspects go.
  • It is very easy to use and understand! Very user friendly.
  • Customer service and help is awesome! There have been some times when I have needed assistance and they were always so quick to reply.

  • Helping us find out which users did a certain activity and in which order. The time gap between those activities is also an important metric. This works great with Clevertap because our backend pushes every relevant event with a time stamp to CleverTap so we do not have to maintain events or build the engine to analyze every small action the user took.
  • Helps us find out which actions our best users take right before they convert. Given the e-commerce like domain we are in, we end up giving a lot of information to our users. Knowing which of these convert what kind of users is very useful.
  • Helps us setup super focussed campaigns (pop-up, emails etc) to users who would be interested in a certain kind of activity. Our yield per message sent is significantly more when targeting is right.

Cons
  • 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.

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.

Return on Investment
  • I sent out a broadcast message pretty deep in our data base, well three years out. I had one customer come in and buy thanking me for contacting her.
  • Our holiday season was up 35% over last year, this year we used CallFire more than we did in the past.

  • Helped improve repeat customer purchase, as it improved bookings through re-marketing.
  • Helped decrease uninstalls through dormant user reminder campaigns and then uninstall surveys that made those users reinstall the app.
  • Helped improve the overall bookings through various recency-frequency segmentation targeting.
