My account manager and her manager are great to work with and quick to resolve any issues that have arisen.

It is not possible to get pricing data through Sinch's API, unlike many of their competitors. After committing to offer us a fixed price in a key market, they raised their prices by 6x and did not notify us in any way, even though they sent us other email...

Nothing that I can think of, unfortunately.

The Flutter library is incomplete compared to native Android and iOS libraries missing many features. Also, the FCM push notification needs service account keys, which is a significant security threat.
