SMS/voice peer when $/part and published carrier fees matter. Twilio remains default toolkit gravity; Bird for WhatsApp-first EU; Plivo for voice-AI packaging. Strengths: Lowest public US SMS list vs Twilio/Vonage peers; Carrier fees published separately (no opaque markup theater); Same account for SMS/voice/SIP/WhatsApp useful for voice agents.
Lock-in risk: higher = more lock-in (worse). Overall already inverts this dimension.
