Should Review Requests Be Sent by SMS or Email?

SMS gets far higher open rates and quicker responses, so for a single ask it usually wins. Email is cheaper, better for longer messages, and works on every plan.

A sensible approach: use SMS where you have a mobile number, fall back to email otherwise, and keep both short with a single clear link. ReviewGoal picks the channel from the contact you enter.
