Infobip vs Twilio: at a glance
What is Infobip?
A CPaaS rebuilding around AI agents that act, not just channels that deliver
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.
What is Twilio?
Twilio follows Cohorts with three GA control APIs for webhooks, recording and caller trust.
Twilio's newest directional move is still Cohorts, a private-beta set of APIs for building lists, segmenting them and triggering bulk sends across email, SMS, RCS and WhatsApp. Since then it has shipped account-level controls: the Webhook Configuration API (GA) for per-URL authentication and delivery rules, a Voice Recording default-configuration API (GA in us1), and Voice Integrity registration across all three major US networks. Unified SendGrid logins and Intelligent Alerts in the new Console round out the month.

A CPaaS rebuilding around AI agents that act, not just channels that deliver
◆ Current state
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.
◆ Where it's heading
The company is repositioning from delivering messages to running autonomous customer interactions on top of them. Channels are becoming the substrate; the product being sold is the agent layer above. MCP servers matter most here — they make Infobip's channel reach callable by models a customer already runs, rather than requiring Infobip's own agent builder.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next quarterly to lead with AgentOS depth — orchestration, handoff and measurement across agents — since the channel and MCP groundwork it needs has now shipped over three consecutive quarters.
Twilio
7.5SUPPORTCOMMS
Twilio follows Cohorts with three GA control APIs for webhooks, recording and caller trust.
◆ Current state
Twilio's newest directional move is still Cohorts, a private-beta set of APIs for building lists, segmenting them and triggering bulk sends across email, SMS, RCS and WhatsApp. Since then it has shipped account-level controls: the Webhook Configuration API (GA) for per-URL authentication and delivery rules, a Voice Recording default-configuration API (GA in us1), and Voice Integrity registration across all three major US networks. Unified SendGrid logins and Intelligent Alerts in the new Console round out the month.
◆ Where it's heading
Twilio is moving up from delivery pipes toward owning the audience and the send decision, while making the plumbing configurable by API rather than per-request or per-console. Webhook rules, recording defaults and caller registration all shift settings to the account level, which is what large, regulated senders need before they trust bulk sends from Cohorts.
◆ Prediction
Expect Cohorts to widen beyond private beta and the new account-level APIs to reach regions beyond us1. The entries don't show Cohorts pricing or a GA date.
