Lots of haters there, which I don't get. Twilio seems to have a lot of substance.



This post is an amusing summary of the six years of Twilio haters: https://kev.inburke.com/kevin/six-years-of-hacker-news-comme...


It seems like a running that their primary competitor (Plivo) is ahead on features, and has better prices. I think those are completely fair criticisms of any company. It's a little strange that this compilation goes to great lengths to never mention the competitor by name.


you can click on the links and see they are each about a different competitor.


"Hater News" heh... yeah sometimes people do tend to hate around here, but it's nowhere near as bad as Reddit.


Good service but still very overvalued.


I used to work for a company that vaguely competed with them. It was frustrating to have people ask "why does your service cost so much compared to Twilio" and to bite my tongue and say something diplomatic rather than "because we're running an actual business that makes money rather than a VC-funded playpen". Apparently they're not even cash-flow positive at this point?
