We have been using email marketing for a while and we recently noticed a trend in the use of SMS marketing with dozens of startup getting millions of dollars of funding.
So recently, we decide to see how we could make use of SMS marketing ourselves. While crafting our SMS campaign, we noticed there was no good source of SMS data unlike email marketing. There is one product on the market and it is MailCharts SMS on the Pro Plan which cost $149 plus an additional $49 monthly. They have a free plan, which provides limited data with not much features.
We thought there we could make something similar but for our own internal use. After spending hundreds of hours and investing hundreds of dollars, we managed to build something functional which works great. We decide to polish it and launch it to see if people might use our solution as well.
The name is called MessageDuck (https://www.messageduck.com) and it is still a work in progress and we are still adding features almost daily. But it is a MVP and it works. We have a free plan that is very functional with limited data. Our paid plan is just $29 monthly and you can use the code INDIEHACKERS to get a 10% off if you decide to use our Pro Plan. We are still working on improving it and we hope that you will like it as well.
