What differentiates BulkSMS from other similar products?

Honestly, your easy to use Zapier integration and catering to South African customers was 100% of the reason I chose BulkSMS - used it as a way to deliver notifications and get customers back onto my app.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Zapier integration

What do you dislike most about this product?

Not particularly innovative. I wasn’t able to send URLs via SMS. Your landing pages were a bit meh.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you’re not technical and planning on using low-code/no-code SMS software then this is a great choice.
