Generic Global Provider
The High Price of "Cheap"
Global providers often compete solely on a low price-per-message, forcing you to manage a high-risk operational burden.
You are often dealing with separate brands for channels (SMS versus Email) and distant, generic support locked behind a paywall. The greatest cost is the unmitigated risk of compliance failure, or a crisis-level service outage where human support is unavailable during your business hours.
You trade marginal savings for a significant increase in buyer risk.
