Pourquoi les développeurs avisés choisissent ClickSend
(over Plivo)
An API you can trust
Clear REST API, clean docs, and fast “hello world” help you ship in hours, not weeks.
You’re not dealing with random shutdowns or messages disappearing into the void — just an API that behaves from day one.
Support gratuit et disponible 24h/24
Every account gets access to real humans who actually understand APIs — any time of day or night.
No ghosted tickets or long waits when you need help the most.
Clear, predictable pricing
Our SMS pricing is transparent and easy to reconcile with your usage.
Devs often switch after dealing with unexpected bills, confusing line items or charges for messages that never actually made it out.

Hear what real users say about ClickSend and Plivo
“Amazing experience and really quick time to market. We were up and running in minutes. The API and examples are on point!”
“The customer service is what sets this solution apart from any other similar solution out there. To get a live person to chat with 24/7... I've never heard of such a level of support!!!”
“Support and just general communication is top notch. Fast, helpful with good guidance to assure approval on getting registered numbers in the U.S. I have felt like the agents know the business and not just some call center screen reader.”
“It's going well so far. Only recently set up an account, but the documentation for the API has made integration easy, and the emails that I've received have been useful.”
“I needed an SMS API solution in a hurry, and ClickSend was the best of the bunch. Very easy to set up and the documentation was great. Plenty of support from the guys. I'm happy with my decision to go with them.”
“Plivo advertises itself as “the most reliable SMS provider.” In reality, it’s the opposite. A few years ago, their entire website went offline for several days because they forgot to renew their domain. I’ve never seen anything this careless.”
“Utterly bad support and a huge nightmare trying to contact the support to resolve an SMS pricing issue.”
“I waited 9 weeks to get my number verified and when it finally did, I got banned by the carriers on the second text message. Complete waste of time and money. Do not use this company!!!”
“Nothing short of a massive disappointment… leaving us without vital communication tools for an astonishing period of 3 to 4 days. What is most infuriating about this situation is the utter lack of transparency and communication.”
“Truth is we chose Plivo for its competitive pricing. Soon enough we paid for our mistake :( SMS failures one after another. Outages, failures and timeouts are quite common. Even when the “system” is up and running, our end users complained a lot about not receiving the SMS.”

FAQs
How does ClickSend’s support compare to Plivo?
It’s like comparing a direct flight to a 14-stop layover. You get direct access to experienced, human support staff 24/7, included with your account. No paid tiers, no ghosted tickets, no ‘consult a forum first’ nonsense.
Is switching from Plivo to ClickSend easy?
Yes. We designed our REST API to be powerful and intuitive. If you’ve worked with other SMS APIs, you’ll feel right at home. Our documentation is crystal clear, and if you get stuck, there’s 24/7 support and specialised tech support if you need it. We’re here to help you migrate.
Puis-je transférer mes numéros de mobiles actuels vers ClickSend ?
Absolument. Nous sommes en mesure de transférer vos numéros courts, numéros verts et numéros longs actuels.
Does ClickSend support the same US compliance requirements as Plivo?
Every reputable provider needs to follow the same US compliance rules, but we take the stress out of it. We guide you through 10DLC and registered sender IDs with real humans on hand 24/7 — making approvals faster and reducing the chance of unexpected blocks.
