国际短信 vs WhatsApp API,谁的传播能力更胜一筹?
对于出海企业来说,常用的群发路径之一就是接入SMS API进行短信群发。它具有易于接入,覆盖面广泛的优点,可以说只要手机在手,全世界有信号的地方都能收到短信。 随着互联网技术的发展,越来越多的信息发布渠道横空出世,成为消息传播的新选择。WhatsApp是一个社交应用程序,允许用户发送和接收短信和语音消息、进行语音和视频通话、共享媒体和文档等等。它于 2009 年首次推出后迅速成为世界上使用最广泛的消息传递应用程序之一,在东南亚、南美、非洲、中东地区具有极高的渗透率。截至 2023 年,活跃用户超过 22.4 亿。越来越多的企业转向使用WhatsApp扩展业务,并将其发展为一个重要的业务分支。 那么今天,我们就来对比短信群发API(SMS API)和WhatsApp API这两种常用的信息渠道,为广大出海企业提供参考。 SMS APIvsWhatsApp API 01投放篇: 在这一部分,我们将从群发的稳定性和传受互动两个角度对比SMS群发和WhatsApp群发的特点。 从稳定性来看,短信群发的发送质量受到通道质量和目的地基础设施建设的差异而有所波动,且发送方无法获知信息的接收和阅读情况。 WhatsApp发送质量快速稳定,端到端加密发送消息,不会因为被拦截而影响转播效果。发送方可以看到信息的已读回执,从而更好地把控和统计发送数据。 从互动性来看,短信群发往往以单向的下行短信为主,发送者难以把控接收者的反馈情况。若想获取用户反馈,需要通过通过短链接+定制的落地页为企业解决对应需求。云片支持客户发送多个不同的国家,一个账号支持增加多个防骚扰短链,根据不同国家设置落地页的语言。避免打扰不感兴趣的客户,避免用户投诉,帮助企业维护品牌形象。 WhatsApp支持双向的即时回复,不受通道的硬件条件限制,及时回应客户需求,让你不错过每一个商业机会。 WhatsApp渗透率更高的地区,WhatsApp高效的信息传递效率和广泛的用户基数为用户提供天然的商业优势。反之,短信仍然是最靠谱的选择。 02价格篇 群发服务作为信息产品,其价格往往是厂商最为关注的要素之一,短信群发和WhatsApp群发具有不同的计价方式。 短信群发的计价方式由数量和发送国家决定,不同国家的单条信息定价不同,通常来说,发布的短信量越大,价格越低。 WhatsApp API群发的计价方式则由消息的性质决定。2023年初,Meta更新了WhatsApp API的定价规则,将WhatsApp的消息类型中商家主动发起的消息进一步细化,分为营销类消息、验证类消息和通知类消息,后两者价格大幅下调,最高降幅达到80%。 不同于短信群发的按条计价,WhatsApp以会话次数计费,即24小时的会话窗口期内,不论用户与企业发生多少次消息往复,均按一次会话来计费。 Meta还规定每个WhatsApp 商业账号每月可收到 1000 次免费服务或用户发起的对话,用户从Facebook进入WhatsApp主动和企业开展的对话将不会计费。 详情点击了解:最全WhatsApp
