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

FeeUnited StatesOther markets
Setup, charged when we file the agent with the carriers$150$150
Carrier approval, charged once when the carriers approve it$750None
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 typeUnited StatesOther markets
Rich text (text, buttons, links)From $0.0098 per messagePriced per message by destination
Rich media (images, video, rich cards, carousels)From $0.024 per messagePriced 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.
