Why do people look for a Twilio alternative?

Slow or unhelpful customer support, with much of it AI-driven and paid live support costing extra. Pricing is higher than competitors, especially for WhatsApp messaging, and can escalate at high volume. Frustrating account verification and compliance process, with business verification rejected multiple times. To be fair to Twilio: globally reliable messaging platform; delivers email at scale via trusted sendgrid api. If that's what matters most to you, it may still be the right call.
