Frequently asked questions

Many service businesses end up with both. Dash Dolphin gets the closer on the phone in 5 seconds. Salesmsg handles ongoing SMS conversations after that. They are not direct replacements for each other.
Salesmsg can be wired up via automations to send a team alert on form submission, but it does not include smart spam filtering, form type routing, or per-form scheduling out of the box. You build that yourself.
Customer-facing SMS triggers TCPA in the US and GDPR in the EU. Dash Dolphin texts your team only, which keeps you out of that regulatory layer. The customer experience happens by phone.
Dash Dolphin Solo at $29/month flat is cheaper than Salesmsg Starter at $25/user/month for any team larger than one user. For a single user, they are comparable. The included features differ significantly.
Use Dash Dolphin to alert your team in 5 seconds, then continue the conversation in whatever tool fits your existing workflow.
No. Literally ALL CRMs work alongside Dash Dolphin. Dash Dolphin is a notification layer, not a customer database.

Your next customer is filling out your form right now.

The only question is whether you call back in 5 minutes.
