Why most teams move off LoopMessage
Surprise line items
Every additional channel on LoopMessage is a recurring upcharge — phone number, SMS fallback, RCS, WhatsApp. By the time you've enabled everything you actually need, the real monthly cost is closer to $120 than the headline $59.99.
DUNS + Apple ID friction
LoopMessage requires a DUNS number and Apple ID registration before you can send anything. That's days (sometimes weeks) of paperwork before your first outbound message. Blooio skips both — sign up and send.
Feature gaps
Polls, FaceTime audio/video, custom link previews, and native contact cards are all first-class on Blooio — they're simply missing on Loop. If your product relies on any of those, Loop isn't a path forward.
Daily contact caps
Loop's Light plan is capped at 300 daily contacts and Regular at 1,000. Blooio imposes no per-contact daily cap — your volume is governed only by Apple's abuse thresholds, which Blooio actively monitors for you.

LoopMessage alternative FAQ
How much does LoopMessage really cost?
The Light plan is advertised at $59.99/mo and the Regular plan at $99.99/mo. Add $15/mo each for phone number, SMS fallback, and RCS, and $10/mo for WhatsApp, and a typical real subscription comes out at $120–$170/mo — plus the upfront DUNS registration work. Blooio is flat $39/mo shared with everything included.
Do I need a DUNS number for Blooio?
No. Blooio does not require a DUNS number. Sign up, get your number, and start sending outbound immediately.
Does Blooio support outbound-first messaging?
Yes. Blooio numbers come pre-warmed, so you can send outbound from day one with no warm-up period. LoopMessage requires a dedicated sender, a warm-up period, and recently-opted-in contacts before it allows outbound.
Does Blooio support polls like the iMessage client?
Yes. Blooio exposes sendPoll for sending and receiving native iMessage polls, with webhook events on every vote. LoopMessage does not support polls.
Can I customise the iMessage link preview?
Yes. Blooio supports full control over the link preview title, image, and URL. See the link previews guide in the Blooio docs. LoopMessage falls back to whatever the target page's Open Graph tags happen to be.
Does LoopMessage support FaceTime?
No. LoopMessage does not support FaceTime audio or video. Blooio exposes a FaceTime invite endpoint so you can schedule calls straight from messages.
