"Leveraged our growth to get ~20% discount per named user."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We were able to backdate pricing for an over due contract and pushed back on the current per text message pricing by leveraging competition. Vonage was willing to cut our contract by more than half so we told Twilio and received an almost 80% reduction in our text message fee. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We were able to get the production support cost removed by asking how many tickets we had opened over the past 12 months."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Twilio has moved to a self serve based model and away from dedicated account managers. "

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. We explored this and Twilio said to qualify more than 30% of the calls need to be over 12 seconds and the average call duration needs to be above the 2-3 min mark. Most of Twilio's competitors do offer seconds billing."
