Where does SMS fit for a service business?
SMS has the highest open rate of any channel and almost no setup for the recipient — which makes it the most reliable way to confirm appointments, chase payments and reach clients who never open email.
startbuddi sends SMS from the same workspace as everything else, so texts are part of sequences, replies land in your shared inbox, and every message is logged on the client — with opt-outs handled for you.
Teams run on it every day
"Having it in the same place as everything else changed how we work. Nothing falls through the cracks anymore — it is all right there."
"We replaced three tools with startbuddi and our team actually uses it, because it is one login and one client record. Chip does the rest."
