Attentive
Best for high volume ecommerce
The platform most large ecommerce brands end up on, with a managed onboarding team, mature compliance tooling and deliverability that holds up at millions of messages. Pricing is custom and commitments are quarterly, so it rewards volume; it is overkill, and overpriced, for a small list.
At enterprise scale Klaviyo's pitch is one audience for email and SMS, with shared segments, identity resolution and reporting. It is less of a pure SMS specialist than Attentive on deliverability tooling, but the single platform saves real overhead for a large store.
Not a campaign app but the programmable layer underneath many of them, priced per message from less than a cent in the US before carrier fees. For an enterprise with engineers it offers total control and global reach; you build the marketing features yourself.
For a Shopify Plus brand that wants depth without leaving Shopify, Postscript scales its automations and segmentation to large stores. Outside the Shopify world it does not apply, which keeps it narrower than Attentive.
A done for you option that bundles strategy, copywriting and support with the software, billed quarterly from around a hundred a month upward. It suits a brand that wants the program run for them; teams that want hands on control may find it opaque.
