ESTIMATE YOUR MONTH

What would your group cost?

Move the sliders to match your group. The math is the same math SMSGO shows you before every send.

ESTIMATED MONTH $6.00
  • Texts$5.40
  • Emails$0.06
  • Replies by text$0.54

About $72 a year at this pace. Quiet months cost $0.

Estimate only. A standard text segment is up to 160 characters, or 70 with an emoji. Photos add $0.04 per photo text.

HOW IT WORKS

A prepaid wallet you control.

You add money, SMSGO takes out the cost of each message, and you always see where it went.

1

Add $5 to start

About 166 standard text segments. Add more any time, from $5 to $500, with quick buttons for $5, $10, $25, $50 and $100.

2

See the cost first

Every send shows who will get it and the estimated cost. Nothing goes out until you send it, or reply YES from your phone.

3

Every message itemized

Your billing page lists each charge: sends, replies, photos and emails, so the total always adds up.

4

A heads-up before you run out

SMSGO emails you when your balance drops to $2, so you can top up before an important send.

THE MATH IN PRACTICE

What a message really costs.

One real group, and the math for a few common ones.

OUR OWN PICKUP GROUP$3 to $7

per game in messages: the invite, the count, a nudge and the “game is on” message.

A PTA · 186 FAMILIES$4.37

for a one-segment update: 141 families by text at $0.03, and 45 by email at $0.003.

A CO-OP · 24 FAMILIES$0.56

for a one-segment reminder: 18 families by text, and 6 by email.

A QUIET MONTH$0

No messages sent, no replies, no charge. Your balance just waits.

MEMBERS CAN CHIP IN

Share the cost with your group.

Any member can text PAY, CONTRIBUTE or DONATE and get their own link to your group’s branded page. They pick an amount from $3 to $1,000, SMSGO covers the card fee, and the full amount goes into your wallet.

5 members chip in $5= $25, about 833 text segments
WHAT’S A SEGMENT?

Short texts cost less.

A text segment is up to 160 characters. Longer texts are split into segments, and SMSGO counts them for you as you type.

QUESTIONS

Pricing questions.

Is there a subscription or a monthly fee?

No. SMSGO is pay as you go. You add money to a prepaid wallet and each message takes its cost out of it. There is no plan to choose, nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. No messaging activity = $0.

How do I add money?

From your Billing page, by card through Stripe. Add any amount from $5 to $500, with quick buttons for $5, $10, $25, $50 and $100. New accounts start with $5, about 166 standard text segments.

What happens when my balance gets low?

When your balance drops to $2, SMSGO emails you a heads-up so you can top up before an important send. If the balance reaches $0, messages stop going out until you add funds. SMSGO never bills you beyond what is in your wallet.

Does my balance expire?

No. Credit never expires. Fund the wallet before a busy season and leave the rest there through the quiet months.

Do I pay for replies?

Texts members send back are billed like texts, at $0.03 per text segment, and each one is itemized in your billing history. Replies from members on email are free. STOP and HELP texts are never charged.

Do I pay for the size of my list?

No. There are no per-contact fees. You pay only for the messages you send and receive, so a bigger list never changes your rate.

Can my members help pay?

Yes. A member texts PAY, CONTRIBUTE or DONATE and gets their own link to your group’s branded Contribute page. They choose any amount from $3 to $1,000. SMSGO covers the card fee, so the full amount goes into your wallet.

How do I know what a send will cost?

Before every group send, SMSGO shows how many people will get it, how many by text and how many by email, the segment count and the estimated cost. From your phone or email, you see the same count and cost and reply YES to send.
