In their own words
Smstools
Smstools combines SMS, WhatsApp, voice messaging, and other business communications in a browser-based platform, with Android and iOS apps and a developer API. Campaign tools support contact lists, segmentation, personalized messages, scheduling, and reporting. Users can send bulk or long SMS messages and automate templates and birthday messages.
The REST API supports SMS, voice, WhatsApp Business, contact management, workflows, and webhooks. Official SDKs are listed for PHP, Node.js, Ruby, Python, and PowerShell. Integrations include Zapier, Make, n8n, Slack, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot, and Smartschool. Smstools describes itself as an official Meta Tech Partner for WhatsApp Business; pricing for that service varies by country and template type. Its pricing page describes European servers, GDPR compliance, TLS 1.3 client connections, and AES-256 storage encryption. The stated service level is 99.9% uptime, but third-party operator dependencies mean delivery is not guaranteed at 100%. A free plan and free trial are listed. U.S. SMS messaging is listed at €0.03, paid once, billed per message, with no subscription and volume discounts.
