ClickSend vs. Omnisend

ClickSend is not for activation account SMS. For that, you can use services like TWILIO. Neither is it for having continuous communication with your users, like a kind of chat over SMS (becomes expensive). Better to try to route your users to a common customer communication tool like Facebook Messenger or something.

It is definitely suitable for outbound marketing campaigns to already registered users. Some exmples would be to send a communication annoucement, send a general offer to all your database of users, to send offers to a particular segment of users by filtering them, automated marketing campaigns based on users who join lists (users that just register and you send 1-5 welcome SMS with tips and tricks on how to better use your product, SMS to users who have an issue with payment method so they can check quickly with its bank, automated SMS with offers each time the user makes a trip, a buy, or gets more engaged with the product).

So, when everything goes smoothly, all companies seem great. But the real test comes when things go wrong — that’s when you see a company’s true face and values.
Not so long ago, we, as a company, ran into some serious issues: domain reputation problems, bugs in our email programs, and more. And of course, all of this happened right in the middle of a newsletter campaign — perfect timing, right?
But here’s the thing: the Omnisend team and their local partners are absolute professionals. I’m not super technical, and a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff is beyond me, but the support team guided me step by step with patience, clarity, and real-life examples throughout the whole investigation process.
I’m genuinely happy I chose this platform. No matter what the issue was or what caused it, they treated it like their own and committed to helping me solve it.
Polite. Fast. Warm. Professional.
That’s the standard Omnisend sets — and it's a tough one for competitors to match.
I also want to give a personal thank you to Baarath — we exchanged quite a few emails, and he really stood out. While support shifts change, he became my support superhero.
All the best to the Omnisend team — keep doing what you do!

• I enjoy how simple it is to create a new SMS campaign.
• How easily we can include it into our email sequences.
• Very affordable payment option.

• Newsletter campaigns - the content editor is the usual one you see on email marketing apps, but it works so smoothly and well. Of course, there's Product Picker that allows you to just pick a product from your store and it goes straight into your newsletter--no need to add images or descriptions. Really easy.
• Popups are great because they look amazing right out of the box. It's all pre-filled so if you don't like looking at a blank screen, you can just adapt the wording and it's there. voila!
• Automation really is nice and it's the bulk of what we're doing now. It's like second level ecommerce marketing I guess, because you really see after some time how having automated steps can really save you time and make you a lot more money. Omnisend's automations are really good and intuitive and was really easy to learn and implement.

• ClickSend lacks email monitoring, which is critical.
• ClickSend has no call recording or file sharing, also a big miss.
• Lastly, ClickSend lacks contact database, which means, the information details of clients are not well captured.

• Initial setup wasn't firing right, support issue was handled pretty quickly and easily.
• It does not go back and put previous orders/customers into the automation. It will only work with go-forward customers from the time you install the product. (At least that's what the outcome of our support inquiry told us...).
• Would like to see more sample templates and campaigns.

Im so so happy how everything goes so smooth! Its so good for small businesses. I hope I will grow my audience and I will go on paid version bcs they really deserve my money.

In general, support is good. Actually they usually write to you about things like when you upload your first contacts, send your first campaign, or when you forget to put the opt-out option. Of course, they are automated emails but it happens that if you reply to one of them a real support agent will attend to your case. If you have any doubt you can write directly to support by email. I'm not sure if they are using Zendesk or any other kind of program but they usually answer in less than 2 hours. Still, the option of an actual real-time chat is missing.

Support is weird. They ask you to keep everything in one thread, but they can't see your replies if they forward it to tech, and things easily get lost. Also tech support is HORRIBLE, they just seem snobby, and give horrible advice liek to test things on a live version vs staging

The starting price of ClickSend is significantly low, and one is not bailed, instead, they pay for what they use. ClickSend works in almost all devices, from Apple products, Windows, and even Android devices. The existence of intelligent mail support is another driver that makes ClickSend more advanced and reputable, as it tracks the minds of audiences and even employees.

At first I went through the standard choice, which is MailChimp. It's a nice-looking program and everything, but I wouldn't say they're user-friendly. It's quite techy and when you have an ecommerce store you really just want to get the results. It's a lot of work to create one simple newsletter and their customer support is pretty much non-existent. As for Klaviyo, they're pretty expensive. We just couldn't justify paying that much for results that were pretty much similar to MailChimp--in that it wasn't really impressive. Omnisend really was a breath of fresh air and their support must not sleep at all cause they answer all my smart and stupid questions within like 15 minutes. Every single time

• The ROI is time. More time focused, less time distracted with a mobile device.
• Early days, however the customer survey and marketing campaigns will hopefully yield results.
• Customer adherence to appointments and/or rescheduling for missed appointments has drastically increased with the use of reminder and follow-up SMS options that normally wouldn't be used as often on a mobile device.

• I am able to see if ordered were placed based on who opened the email and clicked on links.
• It’s had a positive impact on my business by being able to see what emails have produced direct sales.
• It has helped to increase website traffic
• It has allowed my to expand how I can communicate with potential customers.
