Pros It was really easy to learn, and the layout was very intuitive. Support was amazing, and if we ever had a question or a glitch, we could get it handled almost immediately through live chat. We also never had issues with segmentation and delivery. And when building campaigns, you have an AI block that helps you come up with more creative language. Cons We used it as a standalone sms program, so integrating with our email platform and trying to navigate who does what where added some time and difficulty. Alternatives considered [Klaviyo](https://www.capterra.com/p/156699/Klaviyo/) Reasons for choosing Attentive They had a better price and more features than Klaviyo at the time.

I’ve been working with them for over 6 years and they are consistently wonderful. Pros They are constantly innovating and always bring the latest technology to the table. They offer great service and always offer opportunities to participate in beta tests. Cons Some of their tools require additional costs that are unfortunately not within our budget. We had to forgo using as a result. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Pros I like the fact it can help us automate things in marketing and help us grow by controlling SMS and email going out. It has AI as well which is life changer. Cons its growing fast and got a lot of product to choose from so makes it more complicated Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Got the job done and gave us the tools we needed to be able to make successful business decisions when running marketing campaigns. Pros Easy to use and gave our team all of the data to be able to send SMS marketing messages and successfully segment to the right audience and track KPIs that were important to us. Cons No real downside to Attentive other than it being more expensive compared to some of their competitors.

Owner Retail ### "Attentive is an integral part of our marketing strategy!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 14, 2024 Excellent! It is great for a small business like ours and the scheduling and analytics are extremely helpful. The app itself doesn't require consistent attention outside of that as long as you have your flows set up correctly. Pros I love the ease of use, the extremely quick and efficient customer service, and how often they launch new products. Cons Integration of some of their new features was not possible without hiring a developer on our end. Since we don't have a developer in-house this was an additional cost to us that we didn't forsee. I was not impressed with the email platform in comparison to Klaviyo which we've used for 10+ years. Switched from [Emotive](https://www.capterra.com/p/202425/Emotive/) They were far behind the technology of Attentive at the time.

Marketing Retail ### "You won't regret it" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 14, 2023 Very positive. The sales person was a little... persistent for my personal tastes, but very friendly and professional - and you know what? It worked for her so I can't even judge. They've done great things for our email sign ups, and while SMS has been slower to grow, we see good returns and that growth is continuous. Pros The Attentive team are... well... Attentive! They stayed lock-step with me every step of onboarding, and have been extremely quick and helpful if I run into questions. The platform works well and we've seen good returns. I was especially pleased that they haven't charged us their minimum charge, only for what messages we've sent. (But don't tell them that... ;) ) OH! I forgot the best part! The sign up units work like a hot damn. We saw massive amounts of sign ups in comparison to our old system. Very happy. Cons Once or twice I've run into issues with not being able to delete campaigns. I also dislike the way they set up the dropdown for choosing a send time... very small complaints! Alternatives considered [Klaviyo](https://www.capterra.com/p/156699/Klaviyo/) [Emotive](https://www.capterra.com/p/202425/Emotive/) Reasons for choosing Attentive The sales presentation and their patented sign up process. They did the best job of convincing me that not only would I have results, but the support to get them.

Cons I wish they offered a performance-based alternative, where users pay per click or sale. Alternatives considered [SMSEdge](https://www.capterra.com/p/176186/SMSEdge/) Reasons for choosing Attentive Better offer and some client awareness Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
