This seems like a large business overhead compared to web apps. Are there less expensive ways to send 10s of thousands of SMS messages per month? I think this is a very cool idea.

Thank you for the feedback!

Yes, you're right about the sms overhead. The way to mitigate that is to offer this on every platform which supports text that uses a web connection. Hence the focus on fb messenger, whatsapp and others apart from sms.
