Twilio Sucks! Try Sendly! SMS For Developers.
14 followers
Sendly lets developers integrate SMS in under 2 minutes. Access 48 countries with 8 SDKs and pre-made templates, built for a frictionless developer experience. Think Resend, but for SMS.
What's up Product Hunt!
I'm Sarang, founder of Sendly.
Twilio sucks. And that's not just my opinion. 700+ one-star reviews on Trustpilot say the same thing.
I read through them. The complaints are consistent: painful onboarding, opaque pricing, surprise bills, and support that doesn't really exist unless you pay $5K/month.
That's why I built Sendly.
→ Guided onboarding
→ Transparent per-country pricing
→ Real support when you need it
But that's not enough. Twilio does provide solid infrastructure when it works. So Sendly includes the core features too: 8 SDKs, 50+ countries, dedicated inbound numbers (US/CN), webhooks, and a CLI. Plus scheduled & batch messaging, templates, and a sandbox environment.
Built for indie hackers and small teams who care about speed and developer experience. Not enterprise procurement.
Would love your feedback. And an upvote if you think this should exist.
The tagline "Twilio Sucks" is bold, but honestly, a lot of developers feel the same way. Twilio has become so enterprise-heavy that setting it up for a simple side project feels like overkill. The comparison to "Resend for SMS" is exactly what caught my attention. If the DX is truly as clean as Resend's email API, this will be my default choice for auth codes moving forward.
@pharmacist9527 Yep, that's the goal for Sendly. Making the whole DX smooth and easy as Resend but being able to cater for side projects to enterprise just as well. Check out the platform and let me know your thoughts and feedback on what to improve!
