Attentive and Postscript are the two SMS-marketing platforms US DTC teams shortlist first — SMS-first lifecycle marketing sold on per-subscriber or bundled message plans, scoped to Email plus SMS. This comparison names them, scores the SMS-first archetype against an omnichannel platform on channel jurisdiction, consent portability, and pricing model, and keeps the carve-out where SMS-first is genuinely the right answer.
SMS marketing runs on a different rulebook than transactional SMS — promotional consent classes, quiet hours, 10DLC campaign registration, opt-out SLA, and a metrics surface that tells delivered from clicked. This playbook defines the marketing-as-program discipline, works through the marketing vs transactional class boundary, and maps every control to the tenant-owned surface in Devotel Orbit that enforces it.
