Twilio in short
Twilio is a notification platform routing email, SMS, and push through one API. It simplifies multi-channel sending, with cost tracking to your actual channel mix.
Verdict: Twilio unifies multi-channel notifications behind one API, though per-channel pricing requires planning at volume.
