Flexible and transparent SMS API pricing
Other companies might make you jump through hoops to know how much their API costs. We keep it simple–pay the same price as you would for a text sent through SimpleTexting. Scalable pricing for any use case After you pay our number fee and one-time carrier registration fee, you’ll pay by credits. Each SMS message costs one credit, and each MMS message costs three credits. Best of all, any extra credits roll over until the end of the next month. No cost for replies and inbound texts Most of your credits will only go to your initial outbound messages. Any SMS replies you make and incoming messages cost zero credits. Money-back guarantee If you don’t love SimpleTexting, you can talk to us about it within 30 days of signing up to get a refund. You’ll get to see how it works outside of a testing environment before you fully commit.
How to get access to our API and SMS gateway
We offer our API under approval only to ensure better security for everyone. But we also make it simple to ask for that approval:
Step one: Sign up for a SimpleTexting account
Register for a SimpleTexting account to begin the approval process. You need to have a paid account to use our API, but you’re welcome to ask for testing access on a free account.
Step two: Complete your user profile
Go to the top-right corner of the SimpleTexting dashboard and select Profile to fill out your user profile. Make sure to include your contact number, your local time zone, your physical address, and your website address.
Step three: Write a brief description of your plans for our API
We’ll need to know what you’ll do with our API and why. Write a few sentences telling us your use case, goals, and/or business application – whatever applies to your case. Keep it handy for a later step.
Step four: Acknowledge you know our terms
You’ll also need to record in writing that you plan on following our terms and conditions and compliance terms when you use our API. If you need help, we have a template for this statement at our Help Center. Set this aside with your plans.
Step five: Confirm with our support team
Now it’s time to bring it all together. Send a request to use our API with your description of your plans and acknowledgment of our terms to our customer support team. You can get in touch with them by emailing support@simpletexting.net or clicking on the question mark in the upper right hand corner of your dashboard to chat.
