Twilio
Aggregated Service, No Direct Control +
Twilio aggregates services from other carriers and customers have minimal control over the network. This affects flexibility and has the potential to affect service quality.
Single Point of Failure +
As a single platform for voice and SMS services, Twilio is also a single point of failure. This is a significant risk for businesses that depend on communications.
Little/No Control Over Carrier Network +
Twilio is a software company, not a carrier, and has little control over the carrier network. This can affect flexibility and potentially service quality.
Higher Communication Costs +
Calling through Twilio can be expensive, particularly for companies with extensive communication needs—especially those in competitive, low margin industries.
Paid Support Tiers +
Twilio support is tiered, with higher levels of support for an additional fee that can be cost prohibitive for smaller companies. And, response times for inquiries can be slow, impacting organizations with an urgent issue.
No Direct Inventory of Phone Numbers +
Twilio does not maintain its own number inventory. Rather, numbers are purchased as needed through suppliers, increasing the price and wait time. And, Twilio takes up to a month to port numbers.

Don’t take our word for it, hear from some of our happy Twilio customers.
"I couldn’t believe how easy and inexpensive it was to add Commio to take Twilio’s voice capabilities to the next level. I set up a test account with Commio, created a unique ID and token, and made one small change to our existing Twilio code. With Commio, all of our Twilio applications can route calls across more than 40 carriers, so we get the scale, control, and transparency our clients demand. And the cost of voice calls has gone down 46% compared to Twilio’s standard rates. That makes us, and our clients, very happy."
Thaddeus Shaw, Twilio Application Developer
“We’re saving 50% per call in voice costs [over Twilio]. Commio is a good option, providing a quick and direct way to take what we already built in Twilio and create carrier-grade pricing and scaling options with their add-on.”
Founder & CEO, Telemarketing
“The support at Commio is excellent! They respond promptly via email or phone and are very knowledgeable and capable. We do a lot of porting numbers (DIDs) for our customers, and it is a very easy process. Commio blows the competition out of the water, especially on this front.”
Peter K., Voice Technician
