RCS Rates
RCS agent fees and per-message prices for the United States and every other RCS market
RCS is priced per agent (the verified sender people see: your name, logo and a verified tick) plus a price per message sent and received. Everything bills on the same invoice as the rest of your usage.
Agent fees
| Fee | United States | Other markets |
|---|---|---|
| Setup, charged when we file the agent with the carriers | $150 | $150 |
| Carrier approval, charged once when the carriers approve it | $750 | None |
| Monthly, from the day the agent goes live | $160 / month | $75 / month |
Nothing is charged until we have reviewed your request and filed it with the carriers. The monthly fee is month to month and never runs while the agent is in review.
Messages
| Message type | United States | Other markets |
|---|---|---|
| Rich text (text, buttons, links) | From $0.0098 per message | Priced per message by destination |
| Rich media (images, video, rich cards, carousels) | From $0.024 per message | Priced per message by destination |
Sent and received messages are billed at the same price. US prices are "from" prices: some US networks add a carrier fee per message, and your invoice shows the actual price of each message. In other markets the price depends on the country and the receiving network, and every message is itemized on your invoice.
A message that falls back to SMS because the phone cannot receive RCS bills as SMS, at the SMS rate for that destination.
