Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago

Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We were able to remove the auto-renew clause upon renewal. We were also able to keep the Business Support rate flat, while they initially presented a lift upon renewal. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"In a strategic move with Twilio, we managed to get a 10% reduction in our SMS rates by agreeing to an annual commit of about 80% of our historical spend. Previously we did not have a commitment, so that was helpful, but overall we found that leveraging past transaction data was crucial for this renewal and helped us save $10k upfront while allowing the expansion of SMS services without sacrificing budget.

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Twilio does not offer seconds billing in most cases which is an issue for sales teams using the service with unanswered calls or voicemail being billed as full calls.

Most of Twilio's competitors do offer seconds billing."
