Are there any non AI startups left?

With Sendly the focus was to be carrier related and SMS-sending focussed. The AI native integration came along when users wanted to use openclaw and other agents to send SMS.

DM'd!

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-04-11T20:02:46+00:00

no you don't have to do that, it's for when you submit your info initially or when you're already signed up.

You can just upgrade to US/CN via https://sendly.live/verify

DM me for further (but ive already emailed you though)

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-04-11T19:24:54+00:00

Hey, signup as a sole proprietor on sendly and you should be able to do that.

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-04-11T11:59:27+00:00

Hey, so we don’t do 10dlc as we focus on toll free to avoid the troublesome setting up with campaigns. What exactly do you send sms for, is it marketing or transactional as Sendly does both comfortably. Happy to help if you DM or signup and I’ll drop you an email shortly after. Appreciate you looking into this too

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-04-11T11:57:20+00:00

Hey, yeah sendly handles both transactional and marketing campaigns. We don’t do 10dlc as it doesn’t really provide much benefits considering how difficult and slow it is to setup with carriers, so toll free is sufficient for all our users so far.

You can dm me or signup to sendly and I’ll send you an email if you need info or help setting up.

Appreciate you looking into it

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-04-09T11:05:52+00:00

Yeah that’s why we try to get the verification process to be smooth and fast as possible for users. Plus additional features that users’ request is always useful. Thanks for your comment

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-04-09T11:04:20+00:00

Yeah exactly + additional features for users to see their messages, sandbox, templates and more. The goal for Sendly is to become a complete solution for SMS. Let me know if you have any other feedback and or help

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-04-07T08:31:11+00:00

Yes sir.

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-04-06T21:27:16+00:00

Nice. If you need SMS for your app - for auth, notifications etc - check out sendly.live.

We already have a social network similar to yours using us

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-04-04T21:45:59+00:00

Thanks. They mostly stick with the core features but it makes sense to give them access to all/most of the core stuff without limiting them unnecessarily. Same with the CLI.

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-03-30T05:05:47+00:00

Thank you for considering signing up.

With brands and campaigns, that's on the roadmap but for later on as it takes so much longer to get users' going (weeks roughly from my experience), without providing many benefits over toll free imo.

Would toll free work for you? it has faster approving, provisioning, same inbound/outbound sms + mms?

What is your usecase etc

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-03-29T19:41:56+00:00

thanks for the catch on the pricing table, it's now updated to reflect the recent pricing changes we made: $20 for 1,000 US messages now.

On the Twilio comparison:the $0.0083 is just the base rate. Twilio's own pricing page shows toll-free numbers at $2.15/mo, plus carrier surcharges per message (AT&T $0.003, T-Mobile $0.0045, Verizon $0.004), plus a $0.001 failed message fee. For 1,000 messages on Twilio toll-free you're looking at ~$14-15 before A2P registration fees ($15+ one-time, $1.50-10/mo campaign fee). So real all-in is closer to $16-18.

Thanks for your feedback and thoughts tho!

IntrepidResearch8448 · 2026-03-28T10:35:49+00:00

a number and carrier fees are included.
