Small and medium businesses who limit their external communications with customers to phone and email. MessageKite adds powerful text messaging features to empower your front-desk communication.
TextSpot is great for any industry that needs to use text messaging to communicate both transactional and promotional messages.
The email alerts are super helpful, and being able to categorize my contacts within Messagekite is also very useful. The software is simple, easy to look at, and easy to use.
The alert for the notifications is the most annoying sound ever. There is no way to choose a different tone/sound or to adjust the volume.
We are a small retail boutique and didn't have the budget for some of the more robust options available. We decided to give MessageKite a try with their free trial option, and fell in love.
The alert sound is horrendous. I use a lot of other audio features on my work computer throughout the day, and I've had to mute the Messagekite browser tab to escape the sound.
Overall, we've been very happy with this software and are grateful for it.
Some emojis or images that client's send me show up as weird characters or just blank texts. I never know what i'm missing as it could be important.
I love that I am able to use a text message service straight from my business phone. It helps to keep in touch with my client base.
As our first text management program, it was a game-changer for our Lesson Centre and has been an indispensable tool, but we've seen little or no refinement in the almost 3 years since.
It is very convenient tool to reach out to the public and members of our organization. I enjoy that you can message back and forth with ease just like you are on a cell phone.
Bad business ethics, poor customer service. Unwilling to refund accidental subscription time, meant to cancel after first month.
It has been great as a whole. Great customer service and quality texting service.
The website can be sometimes glitchy and difficult to navigate. There's a delay switching between functions and pages.
It's easy to use and message delivery is fast enough and reliable.
TextSpot do not have Android an IOS applications which makes it difficult to use in mobile devices.
Great text messaging system for a small business.
I can't think of anything I don't like. It does exactly what I need it to do.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
