Why Teams Switch from SendBlue to Blooio
SendBlue built an iMessage API, but stopped innovating. We're building the future of business messaging with transparent pricing, modern features, and developer-first tools.
Transparent Pricing
Start at just $39/month with clear pricing on our website. No hidden fees, no $1000+ surprise charges. See exactly what you'll pay before you commit.
RCS Support
Native RCS messaging support for Android users. Send rich media, get read receipts, and create better experiences beyond just iMessage and SMS.
Native CRM Integrations
Works directly in GHL, HubSpot, and more. No Chrome plugins, no separate portals, no context switching. Message where you already work.
Free Trial
Test everything before you pay. No credit card required. SendBlue doesn't offer this — we do because we're confident you'll love it.
Advanced Webhooks
Webhook replay, detailed delivery logs, better event structure with message content included, and comprehensive debugging tools built in.
Better Support
Near-instant support via messaging. No ticket systems, no waiting days for responses. Real humans helping in real time.
Simpler Authentication
One Bearer token instead of two API keys. Standard HTTP authentication that works with every tool and framework out of the box.
Message Cancellation
Cancel queued messages before they send. Perfect for scheduling systems or preventing duplicate sends. SendBlue doesn't have this.
Risk Monitoring
Real-time account health dashboard. Monitor your risk score and stay ahead of potential issues before they impact delivery.
API Features SendBlue Doesn't Have
Webhook Replay & Advanced Debugging
Failed webhooks are a pain. Blooio lets you replay any webhook event with one click, view full request/response logs, filter by status code, and debug issues without recreating test scenarios.

"The switch was incredibly easy"
We switched from SendBlue to Blooio in one afternoon. The API is simpler (one token instead of two keys!), the docs are better, RCS support is a game changer, and the webhook debugging tools alone saved us hours. Plus, we're saving over $900/month with transparent pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does migration take?▼
Most teams complete their migration in under 15 minutes. Blooio's API is simpler than SendBlue's (one Bearer token instead of two keys), with better documentation and cleaner endpoints. You'll update your authentication headers and API endpoint, then you're done.
Is Blooio cheaper than SendBlue?▼
Yes! Blooio starts at just $39/month with all features included and no setup fees. SendBlue reportedly starts at $1000+ per month and doesn't list pricing publicly on their website. Our customers consistently report saving hundreds of dollars per month after switching, plus they get RCS support and native integrations.
Does Blooio support RCS messaging?▼
Yes! Blooio has native RCS (Rich Communication Services) support for Android users. SendBlue doesn't offer RCS at all. With Blooio, you get iMessage for iOS, RCS for Android, and SMS fallback — all in one API with automatic protocol selection.
Will my webhooks still work?▼
Yes! Blooio's webhook structure is similar to SendBlue's, but better. We include the message text and attachments in webhook payloads, plus we have webhook replay and detailed logs for debugging. Most teams can migrate webhooks with minimal changes to their existing code.
Can I try Blooio before switching?▼
Absolutely! Blooio offers a completely free trial with no credit card required. Test all features including RCS, webhooks, native integrations, and our debugging tools before migrating your production traffic. SendBlue doesn't offer a free trial — we do because we're confident you'll love it.
What if I need help during migration?▼
Our support team is available via near-instant messaging. No ticket systems, no waiting days for responses. Text us and get real help from real humans in real time. We'll help you migrate successfully and answer any questions along the way.
Do I need a Chrome plugin with Blooio?▼
No! Unlike SendBlue, Blooio integrates natively with your CRM (GHL, HubSpot, etc.) without any Chrome plugins or separate portals. You message where you already work — no context switching, no browser dependencies, no separate tools to manage.
