Pricing

Pay for what you send.$0.005 a text. No carrier surcharge, no platform fee, no minimum.

One rate, all-in. The number on this page is the number on your invoice — we don't pass carrier fees through for you to reconcile at the end of the month.

US & Canada long code, billed monthly in arrears in USD. You are billed when the carrier accepts the message — failed sends cost nothing. Inbound billing starts when inbound webhooks ship; until then inbound is free. We register your 10DLC brand and campaign, so there is no registration fee and no wait.

Competitor figures use each provider's published rate plus their carrier fees where those are published as a band. Messaging and numbers only — lookup products aren't comparable line-for-line.

All-in, not headline.Everyone else quotes a rate and adds carrier fees at the bottom of the invoice.

Rates checked August 2026 from each provider's public pricing page — every provider name above links to its source. Carrier fees are AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon pass-throughs: they vary by destination carrier and change quarterly, which is why every other row is a range and ours isn't.

Where we don't win: Plivo rents numbers cheaper than we do ($0.50 against our $0.95), and Telnyx's headline rate is lower than ours before its carrier fees are added. On the all-in cost of actually sending a message, we are the cheapest of the four — and the only one whose quoted rate is the whole rate, with 10DLC handled.

Questions

How am I billed?
Usage accrues through the month and we charge your card on the 1st. There is no platform fee, no minimum, and no commitment — a month with no traffic costs nothing.
Do failed messages cost anything?
No. You are billed when the carrier accepts the message. Rejections and undeliverable numbers are free.
What happens when I hit the free limit?
Sends return a 429 with a clear message until the next day or month. Nothing breaks and nothing is charged — add a card to lift every cap. Sandbox keeps working regardless.
Why do I have to verify a recipient on the free tier?
It is the same idea as verifying a domain before you can send email anywhere: it keeps the free tier from becoming a spam relay. Verify your own phone in the console and text it as much as your allowance allows. Add a card and the restriction disappears.
Does the sandbox count against anything?
Never. Test keys are unlimited and free forever — every endpoint, no verification, no metering. Build the whole integration before you spend a cent.
What about A2P 10DLC registration?
Included. We register on your behalf, so there is no brand fee, no per-campaign monthly, and no waiting on carrier approval before your first message. Live access is reviewed by a human because we carry the compliance responsibility for that traffic.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Yes — once you are past a few hundred thousand messages a month, talk to us and we will quote committed rates.
