In a marketing world that changes so quickly, texts are the best way to help you stand out. With ShortySMS, create success easier and faster — use keyword triggers to subscribe contacts, create welcome automations, send one-off campaigns, and so much more.
@bluzthemes Hey Paz! We've calculated out our profitability on the lifetime model to make sure we can support it, & limit to quota to make sure it's within bounds. We also added a monthly plan for people who don't already have a number - so that's part of it too!

@lukecannon727 Appsumo and makers why are you running giveaway for the upvote in facebook group? 20 members will get free lifetime deal if you upvote here. WTH @adityavsc@rrhoover
@adityavsc@rrhoover@iamnishu Hey Nisha, can you please share a link to the FB group? We don't manage any active FB group & this is likely spam. We're also careful to obey PH's rules & never ask for upvotes.
What's up Product Hunt 🤠
I've been a HUGE advocate for text messages as a big marketing channel in the future. 80%+ open rates = rich.
But, when I started looking at solutions... I was disappointed. So many text message products out there are too expensive and confusing.
So we decided to make our own text message / SMS solution. With automations, campaigns, stats, Zapier integration, and much much more.
We also wanted to give you tons of flexibility — so we're allowing people to plug in their own Twilio number and send as many SMS as they want.
We don't cap on our side, and you can even send international SMS. BOOM. 🤙
Finally, we priced the product super affordably at just $19 for LIFE so it's accessible to everyone. Pay once, get it forever.
I think text messages are going to play a huge part in the future of marketing. And ShortySMS is a great way to not miss out.
If you have any questions, just let us know.

@noahkagan Hey is there anyway to preview what the Zapier actions and triggers are prior to buying I can't seem to find them on Zapier or on the ShortySMS site. I'd like to use this as a tool for my Zaps but want to make sure I can send specific data from Zapier into ShortySMS (and back and forth)

@iamnishu This is Appsumo's speciality though. Fake Reviews and Paid Upvotes on Product Hunt to drive demand of a product. So spend $19 x 20 = $380 for a product hunt campaign and then get $400,000 in successful sales. It's a great business model! No wonder so many products on Appsumo fail.. cause they are just hype driven by fake reviews...

So I think ?makers are missing (or omitting) an important element of this deal. You need a Twilio number for it to work. I was under the impression, I could bring my own number. That does not appear to be the case. Although $19 for life seems to be a great deal, you need to dive in further to understand for this to work you will need to pay a monthly subscription to Twilio or !product. Otherwise, it's a useless App for $19. There's a little marketing deception going on here imo. Love the concept of the App, hate how the !product is marketed.
Hey, @mark_delville. It's a great point. We try to be as transparent as possible about that — both mentioning under the deal terms and mentioning on a pinned topic. We have people bring their own Twilio number for total flexibility — pay only for what you need, international SMS, multi-number support, etc. We do also offer a discounted monthly plan for people who want a number provided for them. Appreciate you bringing this up so I could help clarify more.

Trying this, as an avid supporter of AppSumo Originals / AppSumo and the products they launch and create. Going to be trying this as we have clients that have asked about similar services. Thanks AppSumo ?makers !
Hi, @iamnishu. It seems like you've mentioned this a few times. As mentioned across multiple comments, we have no affiliation with this third-party Facebook Group you mentioned. As you can see, AppSumo is mentioned nowhere and it's run by someone named "Ken Moo" who appears to be doing this without our support. We're exploring our options for taking down the post and Facebook Group.
Looking into clarification on this, @sajwalpageni. What I can say with 100% certainty is that our Originals products has no direct affiliation with Ken Moo. We did NOT have him give away any of our products, and we take this matter seriously. Maybe the larger AppSumo team has a relationship with him for affiliate, but if he's promoting free products for upvotes I assume that's in direct violation of our affiliate agreement. This is all news to me, I know nothing about this, so I'll be looking into more closely.

Great product for small businesses and for local consultants to offer to small businesses. And now with the ability to use your own number the deal just got so much sweeter! Especially for a one-time price!
