MessageBird is an excellent WhatsApp API service provider. MessageBird also supports other social media communication channels like Facebook (Meta) Messenger, Instagram etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing specific to dislike about MessageBird it gives almost all things perfect. There are some improvements needed for error messages. Sometimes error messages are not so applicable we can't get an exact idea about them, and debugging is tedious. Else everything is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MessageBird is an excellent service for WhatsApp, SMS, and Voice call integration. MessageBird provides API to send SMS from our Website or Mobile Application. It also provides APIs for WhatsApp Channel Integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing of the MessageBird API is a bit high. A few other alternatives provide this type of service at a low cost. Sometimes API response takes a long time. Else everything is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's helpful to have one platform where we can manage different contact points from social media platforms, SMS and WhatsApp. Knowing that an automated reply will be sent out of hours too is reassuring so that clients don't feel they're being ignored. And can all be managed via their APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our only issue with MessageBird is that there is no monthly billing invoice/statement. You top-up your account with account credit, but then there's no real monthly breakdown sent to you, to account for the depleting account credit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MessageBird's product:

- Data integrity = 6.5 / 10, but we've found it's the best available for the email deliverability niche

- UX = 3 / 10, very difficult to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MessageBird is a horrible company to do business with.

1. Over 3 years of being a customer, we never heard from them unless we initiated contact. They only contacted us if it had to do with making them money — sales or renewal. They never offered customer service or training unless we forced them to. And this is for a product priced at $18,000 - 25,000 USD per year.

2. They bury essential contractual clauses as deep as possible in the paperwork to make it easy to miss. For example, our annual contract had a hidden auto-renewal clause that required 30 days notice to opt out of and they put that on page 6 of the contract in size 7 font.

2. After several years of using the product, it was no longer relevant to our business. Unfortunately, we missed the 30 day auto-renewal that was hidden in the contracts by 6 days. When we notified the MessageBird team, they insisted that we must continue subscribing for another entire year, at a cost of $25,000 USD, for a product we don't use. It felt very disappointing and unethical, especially from a company we had been a paying customer of for 3 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's virtually free, and we've had great success driving incoming messages through our WhatsApp API connection. We also have Facebook and Instagram messages coming through to our inbox so we never miss a thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is a little complicated for a non-tech person to get the full features of Messagebird working. It would also be great for our agents to be able to manage our incoming messages from their mobile phones through an app for instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Message bird has an impressive yet simple user interface, which allows you to configure all the necessary aspects to integrate Whatsapp, social network messaging and text messages. It has a very useful administration panel that allows you to easily understand where to go to execute any action, from flow configuration to message automation.

It is very difficult to find something that I do not like about this platform. However, I think that an opportunity for improvement is to be able to quickly make the user who logs in for the first time understand where to click to go to the inbox and also, how to differentiate the inbox from the main dashboard.

The only thing we don't understand yet is to link the API to a physical desk phone or WiFi phone and receive an incoming call when no one is answering the main phone mobile phone How to be able to redirect to.
