Attentive: SMS + MMS Marketing

I can't say enough good things about Attentive. They have been our favorite platform for years.

Not only do they offer an incredible product with a seamless shopify integration, but they are second to none when it comes to customer service. the In-app white glove service is awesome, and having a dedicated CSM that is very hands-on is absolutely amazing.

I recommend Attentive to everyone!!!!

I was promised white glove service when I signed up and pitched that there would be some hand holding by a dedicated team member to get me going on their platform, with regular follow-ups during my use of the app. That never happened. I went from someone contacting me non-stop to get me to sign-up to being ghosted by customer support staff with no follow-up and no training. I am not happy and would not recommend using this app because of this.

We've been with Attentive for over a couple of years now and we've had a great experience working with the platform & our account managers. The platform is easy to navigate, they have plenty of resources available on how to optimize your sms/mms marketing strategy, and the campaigns/journeys/signup units are easy to set up! We've definitely seen an increase in ROI since we've made the switch. Not to mention, their White Glove Service is extremely helpful in answering our questions and concerns.

They deal terribly when you decide to go. They didn't release our list on time and porting the number takes weeks (unnecessarily). Their prices are higher than everyone else with almost no advantage (we didn't see any increase in numbers, etc).

We've tried Emotive and Postscript as well, and I'd rate Attentive as the worst.

Billing transparency is equal 0. For some weird reason one can not see detailed billing or find exact cost for anything in the account home. Billing invoices are emailed from another system, instead of being visible in the account, no billing history ... nothing. When I think better that must be intentional. Of course, prices might be somewhere in the contract, but who looks at the contracts.

Also revenue contributed to the app is incorrect, overestimated. We have lot of revenue from new customers, and of course new customers subscribe to SMS ... attentive attributes every new purchase to the attentive generated revenue.
