What you give up either way
- Carrier-grade throughput and guaranteed SLA (e.g., Twilio-like guarantees)
- Hosted reliability, monitoring, and support handled by vendor
- Managed scaling for millions of messages and high-throughput routing
- White-glove enterprise integrations and dedicated account management
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches textbee, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
