Textmagic pricing
What Textmagic really costs, why it is billed as pay as you go credits rather than a monthly plan, and the extras that move the bill.
Textmagic does not sell a tiered subscription the way most SMS apps do. You buy message credits up front and spend them as you send, so the headline number is a per text rate rather than a monthly fee. A standard US text costs about 4.9 cents pay as you go, monthly commitments shave that toward 4 cents, and connecting your own carrier through the bring your own CPaaS option drops it to about 1 cent. Credits never expire and any unused balance is refundable, which suits uneven sending. The real cost, though, includes a number rental and registration fees. Below is the model, then the things that move your true spend.
