SimpleTexting pricing

What SimpleTexting really costs, why it is billed by monthly credits, and how message type, seats and carrier fees move the bill.

SimpleTexting sells monthly credit plans rather than a flat fee. The entry plan is $39 a month for 500 credits and includes a local number and three user seats; plans then step up through 2,000 credits at $89, 15,000 at $409 and a top published tier of 50,000 credits at $909, with custom plans above that. A standard SMS to 160 characters spends one credit, an extended message to 306 characters costs two, and an MMS costs three. Incoming texts are free, unused credits roll over to the end of the following month, and annual billing saves about 20 percent. Below is the model tier by tier, then the things that move your real spend.

What moves the real bill

Credits, message type and add ons set the bill.

Four things separate the headline plan price from what businesses actually pay. Model these before you pick a plan size.

Credits, not messages. You buy a monthly credit pack; a standard SMS spends one credit, an extended message to 306 characters spends two, and an MMS spends three, so message type and length drive cost directly.
Rollover softens waste. Unused credits roll over to the end of the following month on monthly plans, and plan credits are spent before rollover, so a quiet month is less wasteful than on tools that expire credits monthly.
Seats and extra numbers. Three user seats and one local number are included; extra seats cost $20 a month each and extra numbers $10 a month, so larger teams or multi location senders pay more.
Carrier fees and registration. US carrier fees of about $0.0025 per message pass through at cost, and a one time $4 charge covers 10DLC registration, so the all in cost sits a little above the credit rate.
