Your role
Developers and product engineers
APIs, SDKs and webhooks that behave predictably at scale.
If you are building messaging, voice or video into software, you will judge a provider by its APIs and how it behaves under load. Good documentation and SDKs save weeks, but the long-term costs come from reliability, rate limits, compliance work and how hard it would be to switch. Plan for more than one provider from the start.
What matters when choosing
- A clear API reference, SDKs in your languages and a free sandbox for testing.
- Signed webhooks, safe retries without duplicates and consistent error codes.
- Published rate limits, a status page and an incident history.
- Help with compliance tasks such as sender registration and template approval.
- Usage and cost data available through the API, so you can monitor spend.
Questions to ask providers
- What uptime and latency do you commit to, and how are service credits calculated?
- How do you handle retries and duplicate events in webhooks?
- Which parts of sender registration, such as US 10DLC or India's DLT, do you handle, and which are left to us?
Common mistakes
- Coupling your code tightly to one provider's data model.
- Treating a 'delivered' receipt as proof the user received and acted on the message.
- Leaving compliance until launch, when registrations can take longer than the build.
