Scopri cosa dicono le persone che sono passate a ClickSend

“The customer service is what sets this solution apart... To get a live person to chat with 24/7... I've never heard of such a level of support!”

Easy to get started and use, upload your contacts list and away you go. It's also got a straightforward reporting dashboard so I can see how my campaigns went and easily calculate their ROI.”

“Wish I could give them a 15. Their platform for texting works really well. They treat our little business like we are VIPs and their response time is very quick. We're there for life.”

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.”

Easy to use, easy to integrate, reasonably priced. Helpful and friendly support staff. A great solution and pay-as-you-go makes it very flexible and easy to manage costs.”

Extremely poor customer service – their restructure was not communicated to customers, which is unacceptable. Responses have been automated and generic, lacking any real support.”

Really bad, bad dashboard, it has constant errors. Customer service is really poor.”

Signup does not work. Sign in doesn’t work. I create support ticket sbut support doesn’t respond. It’s a joke.”

“I chose Bird.com because I expected reliability and professional service, but being ignored for this long is unacceptable. I simply need access to my account and clear communication from the support team.”

“Absolutely buggy email and sms platform. Signed up, got sold on the system, then sms would not send, email would not send. Spent weeks with their support.”

FAQs

Quanto posso risparmiare passando a ClickSend?

It depends on your volume, but in general, a lot. Bird's Pro plan locks you into a monthly subscription whether you send or not – and once you outgrow it, you're in sales territory. ClickSend is pay-as-you-go: no subscription, no lock-in and rates that drop automatically as you scale. Simple and affordable.

How does ClickSend’s support compare to Bird?

You get 24/7 phone, email, and live chat support included with every ClickSend account. When you need help, you talk to real people who take ownership of your issue – no phone loops, no being bounced between teams, no months-long ticket delays. With Bird, only Enterprise users get full support, meaning most users are waiting on a queue with no guaranteed response time.

Is switching from Bird to ClickSend easy?

Yes. Most busineses and developers are up and sending within minutes of account approval. Business verification typically takes 2-3 days – not weeks or months. If you need help migrating, 24/7 support is there to guide you through it.

Posso trasferire i miei numeri attuali su ClickSend?

Yes – you can start sending SMS in minutes with ClickSend. Bird’s onboarding involves CRM, AI, and omnichannel setup steps. ClickSend’s dashboard and API are more lightweight and purpose-built for messaging.
