How Pricing Works for Text Campaigns
When you start typing a text in Notify, you'll see a cost show up below the message form:
Why does the cost of the campaign change as you type?
We calculate the cost of your text campaign in real-time as you type. Your campaign cost depends on different factors.
What factors determine the cost of a campaign?
- Country. The country in which your business and customers are based determines the starting price per text:
Country | Starting Price per Text (in USD) |
---|---|
United States | $0.03 |
Canada | $0.03 |
Australia | $0.064 |
Europe | $0.08 |
United Kingdom | $0.08 |
- Customer Count. The number of customers your campaign is being sent to.
- Message Length. The longer your message is, the higher the cost. In general, your price per text will rise for each additional 153 characters.
- Emojis and Special Characters. Including emojis and certain types of special characters (like foreign language symbols) can substantially increase the cost of a campaign.
Let's go through a couple of examples...
We will assume the following:
- A business and all of its customers are based in the U.S.
- We're sending a text campaign to 100 customers in total.
Example 1
We want to send the following text to our customers:
We are moving to a new location in Boston. Come see us at 123 Main Street. Can't wait to see you there.
Length of text | 103 characters |
Special characters | none |
Count of customers | 100 |
Price per text (US) | $0.03 |
Total Campaign Cost | 100 customers x $0.03 = $3.00 |
Example 2
Let's take the same text from above, but jazz it up a bit with a link and some emojis:
We are moving to a new location in Boston. Come see us at 123 Main Street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wBRpugdvx2wDL8Lb7. Can't wait to see you there. ❤️❤️❤️
Length of text | 151 characters |
Special characters | 3 emojis |
Count of customers | 100 |
Price per text (US) | $0.09 |
Total Campaign Cost | 100 customers x $0.09 = $9.00 |
