NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Founded in 2022, Sunbird Messaging continues to distinguish itself in the tech industry by delivering a seamless messaging experience across multiple platforms. With the recent rollout of RCS/Google Messages in its production environment, Sunbird now offers support for iMessage, SMS/MMS, and RCS/Google Messages, making it the premier messaging solution for Android users. This achievement reflects Sunbird's unwavering focus on advancing and refining the app. Extensive testing has validated recent security upgrades, ensuring a secure user experience as the platform evolves
Sunbird Messaging has seen strong user engagement and retention. Of those who have downloaded and subscribed to Sunbird's 7-day free trial, an impressive 33% convert to paying customers. The company's commitment to delivering a high-quality messaging experience is reflected in its strong revenue growth, which has increased by an average of 130% weekly over the past five weeks.
"We’re excited by the momentum Sunbird is building. Bringing in 15,000 users from the waitlist and seeing such a high conversion to paying customers highlights the real demand for our platform. With the successful integration of RCS/Google Messages alongside iMessage and SMS, Sunbird is setting a new standard for Android messaging, all while maintaining a focus on robust security improvements," said Danny Mizrahi, CEO of Sunbird Messaging.
Without any targeted marketing spend for over one year, Sunbird continues to organically attract new users. On average, 20-30 people still join the waitlist every day, with a conversion rate of 30% from the website and a referral rate of 21% to their friends. The current waitlist has grown to over 174,000 people, demonstrating the app's strong market appeal and word-of-mouth popularity.
Recent survey data highlights the ongoing divide between iPhone and Android users. According to a study from Digital Information World as recent as this week, over 50% of iPhone users joke about Android users, while 24% of Android users feel excluded from iMessage group chats. Additionally, 38% of Android users experience communication difficulties with Apple users, and 22% of iPhone users admit to thinking less of Android users. These insights underscore the need for apps like Sunbird to bridge the gap and foster seamless communication between both platforms. Sunbird is also helping corporations address broader issues, such as antitrust concerns and reducing social divides like message platform bullying.
As Sunbird scales, the company remains focused on unlocking access for more users from the waitlist. In line with this objective, Sunbird is in discussions with venture partners to secure additional funding, which will be dedicated to expanding user access and further enhancing the platform's capabilities.
