Twilio is a developer platform for communications which allows software developers to build SMS, voice & messaging applications using an API! You can build their custom application or quickly integrate communication functions in their existing app or websites such as 2FA verification!

As Twilio is the go-to for cloud-based communication APIs, but there are many alternatives in the market that offer services like Twilio. If you want to cut out the middleman, you can hire some wholesale carriers who offer cloud APIs.

Services provided by these alternatives are almost same but the only difference between them is the pricing, network availability, reliability, global presence, and customer services. Take a look at these Twilio alternatives below.

Bandwidth.com

Bandwidth is the most prominent communication development company that offers services like Google and Skype services. It was one of the original carriers of Twilio but now, Bandwidth has started their own services by cutting down the middleman of a network carrier. Bandwidth provides same services like Twilio at $.035/month. It was also the first telecommunications provider that owned a cloud API services only for the voice and messaging functions.

Nexmo

Nexmo offers SMS numbers to over 35 and voice numbers to over 90 countries globally, making it one of the largest presence in communications! Nexmo does not own any carrier, it operates on a direct network carrier. Just like Twilio, Nexmo uses adapting routes to ensure messages will be delivered through the best possible route with least traffic. Nexmo users will be charged on a "per second" basis instead of "per minute" saving your money for the extra time that you haven’t use!

Plivo

Plivo is a service provider in more than 50 countries for voice number and 19 countries for SMS messaging numbers. Unlike other networks, Plivo uses minimum two local carriers per country with a 99.95% uptime service level agreement. It also offers a smart call routing system which ensures that your connections are made on the least populated route! Plivo also features free call recording and storage which makes it different and better amongst the others.
