SMS pricing

SMS pricing is based on the number of message segments sent. A single message segment is determined by a few factors:

  • Type of the message: SMS vs. RCS

  • Length of the message

  • Usage of special character (emojis, symbols, etc.)

  • Carrier fees (~$0.003 per segment)

You are billed for every segment sent and received. If you are on a Premium plan and are not registered for RCS messaging, then a typical breakdown for a text campaign is as follows:

With no special characters (no emoji's)

1-160 characters = $0.01 per msg + $0.003 in carriers fees = $0.013 total

161 - 320 characters = $0.02 per msg + $0.006 in carriers fees = $0.026 total

321 - 480 characters = $0.03 per msg + $0.009 in carriers fees = $0.039 total

481 - 600 characters = $0.04 per msg + $0.012 in carriers fees = $0.052 total

With special characters

1-70 characters = $0.01 per msg + $0.003 in carriers fees = $0.013 total

71 - 140 characters = $0.02 per msg + $0.006 in carriers fees = $0.026 total

141 - 210 characters = $0.03 per msg + $0.009 in carriers fees = $0.039 total

etc.
