FEATURE COMPARISON
Telgorithm vs. Twilio

Features

CSP Support

All of our customers are registered as Campaign Service Providers (CSPs) with The Campaign Registry (TCR) to maintain full ownership and control of all Brands and Campaigns.

Twilio does not recommend registration as a CSP and directs customers to provide Twilio with their customer’s business and contact information, rather than go directly to TCR.

10DLC Registration & Onboarding

We enable your team to guide your customers through 10DLC registration from submission to approval. This helps to onboard your customers faster and improve their experience with your software or application.

Twilio does not typically offer one-to-one support or guidance to navigate 10DLC registration included in your per-message costs. Twilio customers have to add and pay for Twilio Professional Services.

10DLC Turn Up Times

Due to our expertise, we are able to achieve 10DLC Campaign approvals in 72 hours or less for your customers, getting them to send messages faster.

Twilio customers are typically set up as Resellers with TCR through Twilio’s Trust Hub giving no transparency into timelines. Customers experience one week+ wait time for Campaign approvals.

Premium Customer Support

We provide around the clock support included in your per-message service. Get access to a dedicated account manager and a shared Slack channel so you can communicate with technical staff for real-time support and fast response times.

Twilio charges their customers a fee for Twilio Professional Services and customers need to contact sales to get A2P 10DLC registration and other guidance needed to navigate these industry requirements.

10DLC Deliverability Technology

Our patent-pending Smart Queueing technology prevents your customers from exceeding their 10DLC Carrier limits and saves an average of 20% of 10DLC messages from failing, improving your customer’s deliverability and per-message savings.

Twilio customers often experience deliverability issues with no explanation or transparency. The Twilio 10DLC error code 30023 occurs because your customer has exceeded their Carrier rate limits, resulting in dropped messages.

Easy to Switch

Easily port active or existing phone numbers from another API provider to Telgorithm instantly and in bulk with Automated Number Porting, completely free.

Our Porting API is connected at the Carrier level in real time, which allows our customers to code webhooks into their software so they know when the second a number is ported to avoid disruptions.

Twilio does not provide a carrier-connected, real-time porting API. Therefore, your software has no way of knowing the exact timing of when numbers switch over to a new provider. This can lead to potential disruptions during migrations.

Fair Pricing

Competitive pricing starting at $0.005 and absolutely no hidden fees. SMS inbound messages are free. Phone number porting, customer support, and deliverability tech are all included in per-message service, there are no added fees for these services.

Phone Number Verification is offered at $0.0009/number.

Twilio 10DLC pricing starts at $0.0079 and charges $0.0079 for inbound messages as well.

We moved to Telgorithm from Twilio where we were spending thousands of dollars a month and received no support and no guidance around how to navigate any of the massive industry-wide changes being caused by A2P 10DLC.

Highly recommend anyone looking to move off the "big players" because of frustrations with them. You will not be disappointed!

Jason P.

My company had a very tall task of migrating all of our numbers from Twilio and concurrently ensuring all numbers were A2P compliant. With the help of everyone on the Telgorithm team, this tall, scary task felt like a walk in the park.
