How is the SMS API pricing structured?

Pay-As-You-Go (default)

Best for: teams who want to launch quickly, stay flexible, and pay only for real usage.

How it works:

  • Each SMS is charged at the public carrier price.

    This price doesn’t change with volume and Prelude doesn’t take margin on it.

  • Prelude charges a service license fee per message sent.

    This is the API/service fee for using the platform.

  • You get a real-time billing dashboard to track usage and export invoices anytime.

  • No subscription, no commitment, no platform fee — just usage.

In short: you pay the public SMS cost plus a Prelude service license fee per SMS, with zero lock-in.

License Plan (post-paid + discounted)

Best for: companies with consistent or high volumes that want lower unit costs and monthly invoicing.

How it works:

  • You move from pre-paid credits to post-paid billing with monthly invoices.

  • You unlock:

    • Discounted per-SMS API fees (lower unit pricing),

    • Custom volume tiers aligned with your expected usage,

    • Optional upgrades like tailored routing, SLA, or dedicated support (when relevant).

  • You keep the same transparent dashboard, just with better economics at scale.

In short: the same usage-based logic, but cheaper per SMS and billed monthly once you scale.
