Orbit by Devotel vs Vonage Communications APIs

Orbit by Devotel provides an RCS API for sending rich business messages, including cards, carousels, and suggested replies or actions. It can check whether a recipient supports RCS and retry through SMS when RCS is unavailable, provided the organisation has enabled its fallback chain. Orbit describes a unified messaging platform spanning SMS, voice, video, WhatsApp, RCS, email, and additional channels. An RCS send can contain up to 11 suggestion chips, and a carousel can hold 2–10 cards. The Pay-as-You-Go plan has no monthly fee or minimums; sending is paid for with pre-pay credits. It includes typed Node and Web SDKs, signed webhooks, and a real-time analytics dashboard. The company says production data is processed in the EU, with its primary workload in Belgium and a disaster-recovery read replica in London. US-only, UK-only, and APAC-only residency are not offered. Orbit says its SOC 2 Type II audit is in planning and that it has not completed a third-party SOC 2 audit.
