Sanket Dofe - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Wynisco
Partner program has reduced messaging costs and now supports reliable, large scale communication
I believe Gupshup could improve in several areas. Since our partnership involves working at scale for multiple WhatsApp Business API numbers over their infrastructure, I noticed that Gupshup also provides WhatsApp Business API for single consumers, which I saw on their website and documentation. They charge additionally per message or template message on top of the actual WhatsApp Business APIs messaging rate. For example, sending a WhatsApp marketing template costs around $1.50, and Gupshup adds their own service fee per message, around 20 to 30 cents. For a single consumer working at scale and sending thousands of messages daily, this can become concerning. They should implement a solution where it could be a one-off payment instead of per message payment, allowing single consumers to leverage their service better. What would make it a 10? A better engineering team that solves problems and knows the ins and outs instead of just doing patch fixes would be ideal for me. Being a tech-focused person, I believe the system we rely on should be totally reliable and the people working on it should be reliable as well.
Sai  - PeerSpot reviewer
Ai/Data Analyst at CSD
Improves team writing clarity and consistency but has needed more context-aware and faster support
From my experience working with the CST, where communication needs to be clear, accurate, and timely, a tool such as Writer could definitely be helpful, but there are a few areas where it could be better. One thing is that sometimes AI suggestions from Writer can feel a bit too generic or not fully context-aware, especially when dealing with sensitive communication or student-specific situations. In those cases, I would still need to manually adjust the tone to make sure it's appropriate and empathetic. Another thing is that in a fast-paced environment such as CST, where I'm managing scheduling and coordinating with students and faculty, I would want Writer to be very quick and seamless. If it slows down the workflow or requires too much interaction, it can be frustrating. It would also be helpful if Writer could better adapt to institution-specific language or policies, since a lot of our communication follows certain guidelines. Overall, Writer is useful for improving clarity, but I would appreciate seeing it become more context-aware, faster, and better aligned with real-world workflows, especially in environments such as student services.

Pros

"Gupshup has positively impacted my organization in multiple ways, significantly impacting the bottom line and providing an overall return through the WhatsApp automation report showing around 398 percent on investment over a three-year period."
"My main use case with Gupshup was flawless; it was very user-friendly, and I personally loved using it."
"I think the best feature Gupshup offers is the very good documentation, and I appreciate how they provide assistance when we need it, as well as the architecture of the documentation."
"Writer has positively impacted my organization and my work by helping to reduce the daily manual effort of creating reports through the use of AI, allowing us to invest more time in other important activities."

"Overall, Writer is mainly used to polish content, maintain consistency, and make writing more professional, especially in work or team settings."
 

Cons

"If I suggest an improvement, I would desire to see deeper analytics."
"I think their customer support needs to be improved as they have a very slow response time and lack local support, especially in Indonesia."
"I remember that I was trying to get the webhooks about account information, and I had trouble finding in the documentation how I could receive webhooks about the account, such as when we have an account that could be blocked or when the limit of messages might be erased."
"Gupshup could be improved by adding more selection of templates."
"Sometimes it stays in the pending part and it might not get approval from the Meta side, so that is one thing which needs to be improved."
"My feedback regarding Gupshup is that during the DLT setting of IDs in the SMS and WhatsApp section, whatever is written in the portal has to be precise."
"The main thing the support team should do is give immediate resolution, not take a day or two or three days."
"I would appreciate more granular error code documentation for edge case API delivery failures, deeper out-of-the-box integration with cloud monitoring tools such as AWS CloudWatch or DataDog for native metric scraping, and a more responsive administrative console when querying massive historical message logs."
"Some advanced features of Writer take time to learn, and occasionally, AI suggestions need manual editing to blend with the context because the AI does not know the context of what I am going to present, so I think more integrations would be beneficial."
"My experience with Writer's pricing, setup cost, and licensing is actually very challenging."
"One thing is that sometimes AI suggestions from Writer can feel a bit too generic or not fully context-aware, especially when dealing with sensitive communication or student-specific situations."
