Usage-based. No platform fee, no commitments, no sales call.
Carrier fees are included in every rate; nothing is added on top.

| | Price | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Outbound SMS | **$0.009** | per message |
| Inbound SMS | **$0.004** | per message |
| Phone number | **$0.95** | per number, per month |
| Carrier lookup | **$0.008** | per lookup |
| Phone verification | **$0.025** | per successful verification |

US & Canada long code. Billed monthly in arrears, in USD. We file your A2P
10DLC registration at no extra charge; carriers usually review it in 3-7
business days, and you can text your own verified numbers the same day.
You're billed when the carrier accepts the message: failed sends cost nothing.

Phone verification is charged only when a code is successfully verified.
Blocked, expired, and abandoned attempts are free.

## Free tier

The free tier needs no credit card:

- **100 live outbound SMS per month** (10 per day)
- **1 phone number**
- Live texts go only to numbers you've verified (up to 3)
- **Unlimited sandbox**: every endpoint, no caps, no card, no verification
- 30-day log retention

Add a payment method to lift every cap, text anyone, and unlock live carrier
lookups.
