A comparison with Twilio’s Fast Track specifically, not Twilio as a whole.
Fast Track is Twilio's A2P Onboarding Fast Track Package: a contracted add-on that assigns an onboarding manager and buys faster review times, on top of Twilio's own registration. It gets you approved to send on Twilio. Ekas is a carrier-agnostic compliance engine that checks a registration, returns the exact fix, and files it on the provider you already use. Here is where each one wins.
The matchup
A carrier-agnostic compliance engine that checks a registration, returns the exact fix, and files it on the provider you already use.

| Ekas | Twilio | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A carrier-agnostic compliance engine that checks a registration, returns the exact fix, and files it on the provider you already use. | A contracted package: an onboarding manager plus credits that speed Twilio's review queue, on top of Twilio's own registration. |
| Where it runs | On top of the provider you already use, from Twilio to Bandwidth to Sinch. You keep your own carrier relationships. | Twilio only. The campaign binds to a Twilio Messaging Service, so you register to send through Twilio. |
| What your customer fills in | A short form. They give an EIN, a website, and campaign details, and Ekas prepares the rest. | The full Trust Hub form, entered by hand. A clean, complete submission is on you. |
| The fix before you submit | Ekas reads the submission and returns the exact change to make before it goes in, with a human in the loop. | No pre-submission engine. The manager guides you and speeds review, but there is no exact-fix check. |
| If it gets rejected | Follow the fixes and the rejection doesn't count toward your quota, and Ekas covers the provider's registration fee. | No guarantee. Twilio's own terms say faster review times do not guarantee an approval. |
| Pricing | Published. From $500/month for up to 50 registrations. | The Fast Track package is an enterprise order form with no public price, on top of Twilio's per-brand and per-campaign fees. |
| Channels | 10DLC, RCS, and Toll-Free behind one engine and one check. | Broad on Twilio, from 10DLC to Toll-Free to RCS, but each channel is its own separate registration. |
| Best for | Platforms and CPaaS providers who need customers approved the first time, on the stack they already run. | Enterprises already committed to Twilio who want a faster review queue and a human contact inside it. |

Fast Track is built for teams that have already chosen Twilio. If Twilio is your sender and you register a lot of brands and campaigns, the package buys a dedicated onboarding manager and faster review times, all inside the console you already run. One vendor, one bill, nothing to integrate. For a large sender committed to Twilio that mainly wants to move the review queue along with a person to call, that is a real convenience, and Ekas doesn't try to be your sender. Ekas makes registrations pass on whatever provider you choose.
Fast Track gets you approved to send on Twilio. The campaign binds to a Twilio Messaging Service, so moving providers means registering again. Ekas checks and files on whatever provider you already use, and leaves your carrier relationships where they are.
Ekas returns the exact fix before you submit instead of leaving a clean form to you, pulls most of the business data so your customer fills in a short form, covers 10DLC, RCS, and Toll-Free behind one check, and backs the result with a guarantee: a rejection after following the fixes doesn't count against your quota, and Ekas covers the provider fee. Twilio's own Fast Track terms state that faster review times do not guarantee an approval.
Choose Fast Track when you are already committed to Twilio, register at volume, and want faster review and a dedicated manager without leaving the Twilio console. Choose Ekas when you want to keep your own provider or serve many customers, need 10DLC, RCS, and Toll-Free behind one check, and want a short form, exact fixes, an embeddable flow, and a guarantee on the outcome.
Bring a submission that got rejected and we will walk through what Ekas would have caught before it went out.
