As nice as it would be to have all my messaging in one app rather than across a half dozen, I just can't picture paying a monthly fee to do it.
Might be good for business owners, having a single inbox.
Exactly, either setting themselves as an alternative to Twilio, or to be acquired by them. Companies will pay more than $2/month/user for customer engagement on all platforms.
I'm not sure what the business model is here (I have no interest in iMessage) but unlike the previous ones this solution doesn't require a Mac mini farm. Messages are sent directly from the Android device.
So it doesn't require a monthly fee to be profitable.
