Zipwhip Shutdown: November 30th, 2023
The time is getting near – Twilio is sunsetting Zipwhip on November 30th, which means the product will no longer be available to use.
Zipwhip was a great tool for businesses, it provided simple and easy-to-use texting for communicating with customers, and it was incredibly affordable.
You probably feel like you're searching for a unicorn: In order to keep business functioning as usual, you need to find a Zipwhip replacement that is comparable to both Zipwhip’s easy-to-use functionality AND price.
While there isn't going to be a perfect fit - there are several good options for you.
Finding an Alternative to Zipwhip
There are other texting apps that provide similar functionality to Zipwhip, but not at the price you’re familiar with. We understand this is a big frustration, and we're doing everything we can to help by offering support and a Zipwhip customer-specific discount.
First Step: Export Your Contacts and Conversation History ASAP
Don’t wait to ask Zipwhip for your contacts and conversation history. If you haven’t chosen an alternative texting app yet that’s okay, go ahead and ask for your information now so it’s safe from being permanently deleted when the app shuts down.
There are thousands of businesses like yours that need their information exported and there’s a good chance Zipwhip’s customer support will become backlogged as the shutdown date gets nearer.
To export your contacts and conversation history from Zipwhip you need to contact Zipwhip customer support. You can call (855-947-9447) or email them (support@zipwhip.com).
Don't skip a beat: you can upload your contacts and conversation history to Beetexting as well as keep your current number. Learn more
Next: Review Your Options for Replacing Zipwhip
Seemingly, you have a lot of options for alternative texting apps, but once you start researching your options you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed trying to decipher if these other apps will work the same for you.
Zipwhip was simple and affordable, and many of the recommended alternatives feel confusing and expensive.
While Beetexting has many additional features to Zipwhip, it's an out-of-the-box solution like Zipwhip and you can find the exact same features you are using currently with Zipwhip.
