Heymarket vs. SlickText

Heymarket is well suited for companies that need to contact customers through SMS or send marketing campaigns. Using the API to send order updates is awesome, but it would be nice to be able to auto close those messages. I would not recommend it for large scale campaigns, companies that use sensitive data or that needs to be HIPAA compliant, would not recommend for companies with more complex campaigns.

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.

• Sends personalized messages with tags and templates.
• Automates routine communications like order updates or follow-ups.
• Schedules messages to be sent at specific times.
• Manages customer opt-ins/opt-outs to comply with current regulations.
• Integrates with tools we use, like HelpScout.

• 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.

Incentivized

• It could be easier to set up campaigns
• Group texting is missing
• Can duplicate users

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

In my opinion, Heymarket is easy to use and has a nice, clean interface (much nicer than JustCall). The customization is nice and it is easy to create templates, schedule messages, send messages through API, etc. I cannot give it a 10 because, in my opinion, the mobile app is not very good, you cannot close API messages manually, and the Customer Service team lacks the ability to help without contacting management.

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.

Heymarket was easier to use and has had less errors than OpenPhone. While they do share many similar features (shared inbox, tagging users, simple to use) Heymarket has been a solid solution for us. I only wish we could also use it to make phone calls along side text messages

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.

• It has reduced our response time to outreach
• Allows the team to handle more on their own without needing engineer help
• Our clients prefer texting and this helps to support them.

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
