Postscript pricing

What Postscript really costs on Shopify, why it charges a monthly plan fee plus a per message rate, and the carrier fees and minimums that move the bill.

Postscript bills in two parts: a monthly plan fee and a per message rate that falls as you move up tiers. The Starter plan is free to open but carries a $49 monthly minimum spend, with texts at $0.015 each; Growth costs $100 a month and drops the rate to $0.01; Professional, the plan Postscript marks as most popular, costs $500 a month at $0.007 a text; and Enterprise is a custom quote. On top of every plan sit US carrier fees of about $0.004 per SMS, and an MMS costs roughly three times an SMS. It is built for Shopify and requires a store. Below is the model tier by tier, then the things that move your real spend.

What moves the real bill

Plan fee, per message rate and carrier fees set the bill.

Four things separate the headline plan price from what stores actually pay. Model these before you commit to a send volume.

Two part pricing. You pay a monthly plan fee and a per message rate on top, and the rate falls from $0.015 on Starter to $0.007 on Professional, so the right tier depends on your send volume, not just the headline fee.
Starter has a floor. The free Starter plan carries a $49 monthly minimum spend, so the true entry cost is $49 a month once you send, not $0.
MMS costs about triple. A picture message runs about three times an SMS, so heavy MMS use burns through budget far faster than plain texts.
Carrier fees on top. US carriers add roughly $0.00418 per SMS and $0.00841 per MMS, billed separately from your Postscript rate, so the all in cost per text sits above the listed rate.
