Best Fit: Developer-Led Custom Messaging

Twilio is communications infrastructure, not a turnkey insurance follow-up system. It gives technical teams flexible APIs and pay-as-you-go messaging, but that flexibility comes with setup, integration, compliance-registration, and ongoing configuration work. Independent agents who simply want ready-to-use SMS follow-up should usually start with a CRM or messaging platform that already includes the workflow layer.
