Dotgo RCS vs smsmode RCS API

Dotgo RCS provides business messaging tools for carriers and other organizations deploying or monetizing Rich Communication Services. Its RBM Hub gives developers, aggregators, and ISVs one termination point for delivering RCS traffic across mobile carriers, connecting to more than 70 carriers worldwide. Messages can include images, videos, carousels, and suggested actions; analytics track open rates, click-through rates, read receipts, and conversions. The product range also includes Dotgo MaaP Gateway for mobile network operators, managed services, agent verification, campaign management, Bot Store, RichOTP, and RichSMS. MaaP Gateway covers backend RCS management, onboarding and verification of agents, billing, and reporting. Campaign Manager supports creating and scheduling campaigns with rich card templates, customizable calls to action, and downloadable reports. Chatbots handle two-way marketing, commerce, and support conversations, with fallback to a live agent, and can be deployed across RCS, WhatsApp, GBM, iMessage, and Instagram. RichOTP supports SMS fallback and approval from within Messages. Pricing is on request; fees may be one-time, recurring, usage-based, or chatbot charges.

smsmode RCS API lets businesses build rich messaging conversations through a REST API. It supports images, maps, action buttons, carousels, sessions, statuses, and RCS agent authentication; messages can also carry video, audio, documents, QR codes, geolocation, payments, and links. Listed uses include marketing, notifications, booking confirmations, delivery and order alerts, customer service, and one-time passwords. Where a device cannot receive RCS, the service offers SMS fallback. Customers must register their RCS agent with Google and carriers before sending. The RCS page says campaigns can reach more than 10 countries, including France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and Germany. Reporting includes real-time delivery receipts, read rates, and click rates. Listed integrations include HubSpot, Salesforce, Oracle Eloqua, Selligent, Customer.io, Google Calendar, Zapier, Klaviyo, and Adobe Campaign. Account controls can hash content or recipients, truncate the last four digits of recipient numbers, shorten retention, or delete message content after sending. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan; listed message plans start at €9 a month excluding taxes, while the pricing note says from €69/mo.
