Emotive.io vs. SlickText

Given our experience, we hesitate to recommend Emotive.io to anyone. We had a year contract that included a monthly subscription fee and opted to move our SMS marketing to a more reliable platform and service -- despite having to pay for six months of service to fulfill our contract. At no time, did our account manager attempt to honor the promise made by her predecessor to reimburse us for services not rendered. Billing questions arising months after our departure resulted in the same experience of apathy.

Very well suited for those getting started with SMS campaigns. It was easy for everyone on our team to pick up and get going without a lot of training. If you have mobile number lists in the hundreds of thousands I can see how it would be tough to manage with the lists, keywords, etc. I could be wrong as we are not in that space but that would be my assumption.

• Low pricing
• Shopify integration

• User friendly interface
• A good resource for making sure we maintain compliance with all the privacy policies
• The text-to-join feature looks awesome. That is the one we are hoping to get started soon.

• After investing many hours to build segmented automated flows, in my experience, the flows did not work and tech support was unable to diagnose them.
• The responsive team we had was replaced with a new team that was indifferent to our issues. This included our Account Manager and her superior. Customer Support was responsive but unable to correct the technical problems.
• It appeared the company was experiencing churn. High turnover. Apathy.
• We initially saw growth in options and sales . Over several months, growth stagnated.

Incentivized

• Easy to find resources for short codes
• The current automation is nice for beginners but it's not terribly sophisticated for experienced users
• Minimal integrations to this point but I'm sure more are on the way

Very easy to use. Intuitive website that our entire team has been able to quickly pick up. In my opinion it is the most user friendly interface of all the software we did demos with.

Postscript is more expensive, and worked well for a while, but not really worth the cost. Attentive is cheaper than Emotive and Postscript, and they are performing 10x better than both combined

We felt SlickText was the most user friendly, budget friendly, and we liked the fact that they didn't balk at the fact we wanted to go month to month to start so we didn't end up in a long term commitment right out of the gate.

• Postive ROI
• Increase in traffic
• Increase in Sales

Incentivized

• We are receiving a click through rate anywhere between 12-20% on our renewal reminder texts
• Those people who click have a conversion rate of around 50% which is the best of any of the campaigns we run
• One negative could be if we start to use the tool for promotional texts then there may be a negative impact on the member experience. Need to use it in moderation
