SlickText vs. SMS.to

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.

SMS.to is a must-have tool for employee engagement and communication. It also serves as a great marketing software.

• 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

• For some reason once the campaign is sent it doesn't start to send SMS right away it may take 30min to a couple of hours. It doesn't matter is your campaign is not urgent or emergency.
• You have to upload your contact list for the specific campaign It seems that you can't just copy and paste the numbers for quick campaigns.
• Even if the UX is undertandable, there is room for improvement.

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.

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.

I already pointed out this but basically we decided to go with SMS.to because 2 reasons:

1. It can be paid with paypal (first reason) we have some bad experience with other products because payment gateways may suddenly block your cards and you're unable to pay even if you want to use the service so when we saw that SMS.to has Paypal payment we just decided to go for this option.

2. You pay per message and not per contact this is ideal other platforms will ask you a monthly fee for marketing features that you're not looking plus paying per SMS or per contact we were just looking a straight forward software in order to send SMS campaigns.

• 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

• Easy communication.
• Better engagements thanks to fast delivery of messages.
• It's a great marketing software.
