Attentive’s platform itself is fine, but the contract structure and enforcement approach are extremely restrictive and disappointing. The agreement includes strict SMS exclusivity with long-term lock-in, limited flexibility, and significant financial penalties (more than reasonable costs) if you need to adapt your tech stack. Even more frustrating, the Attentive team has taken an overly aggressive interpretation of the contract—suggesting that even discussing or planning with other providers would be a breach, despite that not being clearly supported by the language. For a fast-growing e-commerce business, this makes it very difficult to evolve, evaluate alternatives, or integrate with tools Attentive doesn’t support. When integration gaps arise, the exclusivity still applies, leaving you stuck paying for services that no longer meet your needs. If you value flexibility, vendor interoperability, or the ability to plan ahead without pressure tactics, read the contract very carefully before signing.

We have used Attentive for many years and have been happy with every aspect. The features and UI are solid, they are always pushing on product development, and are proactive with compliance. I can't speak highly enough about their white glove support and dedicated CSMs. Chelsee is top tier and has felt like an extension of our internal team.

Using Attentive has been super easy and helpful for our marketing efforts. Creating and monitoring campaigns is user friendly and easy to stay organized. They offer various analytic reports to help monitor performances. AI Grow is also a useful addition to offer more sign-up units and grow our audience. The support team is super responsive and everyone I've interacted with has been very friendly and helpful.

Extremely happy with the performance of Attentive over the last several years. Constantly improving the U/I and different rollouts that fit client needs. Definitely a core function for our business!

We really love Attentive as our email and SMS solution! It's so user- friendly, easy to integrate with our other tools and all of the reporting and dashboards are easy to digest and analyze.

We have used Attentive for about 5 years now for our SMS program. They have been so great to work with, the software works great and is easy to use to setup messaging, campaigns and automations. They were so great, that we moved our email management over to them as well about 3 years ago. Having the all in one soltuon for email and SMS makes automations great to keep messaging consistent. Also, in the world of tricky SMS litigation they are great about staying on top of it and helping to keep you complaint. Highly recommend.

Attentive has been a strong partner for our SMS marketing for several years. The platform makes it easy to launch campaigns, manage automations and quickly create segments for strategic targeting. Their support team is super responsive and knowledgeable, which has been a huge plus whenever we need quick guidance. The reporting tools provide solid insights into performance, though there's some room for improvement in customization and deeper data visibility. Overall, Attentive has helped us grow our email & SMS lists, increase engagement, and drive measurable revenue.

We've been with Attentive for 5 years for for SMS and email marketing. The team is helpful, responsive, strategic, listens to our feedback, & is great to work with. Attentive's dashboard and new AI tools are intuitive and easy to use. Highly recommend!

We’ve been with Attentive for some years now, I’ve had experience with other SMS providers but no one has cared as much as Attentive has. It’s not only one team or one person that cares about helping you but their whole brand, they’re very responsive and always willing to help. The new tools they come out with are also quite useful and innovative and I’m excited to see how the brand grows with such dedicated people in the team.

We’ve been using Attentive to manage both email and SMS, and it’s been seamless combining our email and mobile strategies. Their extensive library of “journey” templates has made automating much of our program simple, and they continue to roll out new features that make the platform even more powerful. Attentive has truly become a key partner in driving our retention and lifecycle marketing efforts.
