While Blooio and Sendblue are more focused on B2C agents and sales, we're more focused on 2-way conversational business use cases such as customer service that require scale and stability.

Lol not true. Blooio also starts at $39 for shared and $98 for dedicated. Source: I'm the co-founder of blooio. https://blooio.com/

The $98 dedicated line is inbound only. A lot of our application comes in the form of warm, consented outbound.

We have that too for $195/line for 6+ lines. We also have a full API you can find it here :) https://docs.blooio.com

RCS fallbacks, Emoji reactions, typing indicators, even changing chat background
