DroidSender / Compare
How DroidSender compares with other SMS services.
Each comparison uses only the other tool's official pages, shows the date it was checked and says where the other tool is the better choice.
Checked
Use WhatsApp Business if your customers already message you there. Use SMS if you need to reach everyone: SMS works on every phone, with no app or internet needed, and customers can reply to the number they already have saved. DroidSender sends SMS from your own Android phone and number, with campaigns from Excel and one inbox on your computer.
Checked
Use Google Messages for web if you answer texts alone from one computer. Use DroidSender if two or more people need to answer customers from the same number at the same time, or if you send campaigns to a list. DroidSender sends and receives SMS through your own Android phone and number, with one shared inbox on your computers.
Checked
If you send one message to a list once, a free phone app like MsgGo is enough. Choose DroidSender if you send regularly and want to work from your computer: schedule campaigns, control the sending pace so your carrier doesn't limit your number, pause automatically if messages fail, handle STOP replies, and answer everyone in one inbox.
