Sakari pricing

What Sakari really costs, how its per segment billing works, and the things that move the bill beyond the entry plan.

Sakari prices SMS per message segment rather than as a flat per message fee. You pick a plan, month to month or annual, and each segment costs a rate set by your plan and the destination country. Plans start at about $25 a month, around $16 a month on an annual commitment, and include a free dedicated number for the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or France. On the entry plan a US segment runs roughly 3 cents, and higher plans lower that rate, so volume buyers pay less per text. Messages over 160 characters split into multiple segments, and an MMS adds about 2 cents. Below is the model, then the things that move your real spend.

What moves the real bill

Plan rate, segments and country set the bill.

Four things separate the entry price from what businesses actually pay. Model these before you commit to a plan.

Plan rate per segment. Sakari bills per message segment at a rate set by your plan and the destination country; on the entry plan US segments run about 3 cents each, and higher plans lower that rate, so volume buyers pay less per text.
Segments and MMS. A message over 160 characters splits into multiple segments that each cost the plan rate, and an MMS adds about 2 cents per message on top, so long or picture messages raise the effective cost per send.
Annual billing discount. Plans are month to month or annual, and annual billing cuts the monthly cost, for example an entry plan near $25 a month dropping toward $16 a month on an annual commitment, so a yearly commit lowers the rate.
Numbers and international. A dedicated number is included free for the US, Canada, the UK and France, but extra numbers and messages to other countries carry their own rates, so an international or multi number program lifts the bill.
