Postscript Pricing (2026): SMS Plans, Message Rates and Fees

Postscript shows four SMS plans: Starter, Growth, Professional and Enterprise. Starter, Growth and Professional show a monthly fee plus per-message rates, and Enterprise says Contact us.

Every Postscript bill has at least two parts: the monthly plan fee, and what you send. Each plan charges per message, and carrier fees sit on a line of their own. Reading only the plan fee gives you half the picture.

Postscript is an SMS and RCS marketing platform, with email, for ecommerce brands, covering campaigns, automations, segmentation and subscriber acquisition tools. Here's what its pricing page shows as of Nov 2026.

Upgrading across the Postscript tiers: what each step adds

The per-SMS rate falls as you move up: $0.009 on Starter, $0.008 on Growth and $0.007 on Professional. Features change at set points.

  • Starter: campaigns and automations, unlimited segments, a dedicated toll-free number, subscriber acquisition tools with 2 opt-in Keywords and a branded short link subdomain.
  • Growth: unlimited opt-in Keywords, plus live chat and email support.
  • Professional: Enhanced Analytics, priority live chat and email support, API access for custom integrations, and 'Powered by Postscript' removed from opt-in.
  • Enterprise: a dedicated Customer Success Manager, personalised messages with custom product recommendations, Data Warehouse Push and the option to add RCS.

The small print: minimum spend and carrier fees

Starter shows $0/mo. on the card, but it carries a $49 monthly minimum spend. So a free-looking plan still has a floor, and it's one you'll meet even in a quiet month. On every plan, carrier fees are passed through on their own line, and the page lists average US figures for them: $0.00330 per SMS, $0.00799 per MMS, $0.0047 for Text RCS and $0.0087 for Media RCS.

The rates listed apply to the US 50 states and Canada only. On the plus side, the page states there are no prepaid balances, expiring credits, overages or auto-upgrades, so you aren't moved up a plan without choosing to be.

The separate AI plan

The AI products, Brand Center, Infinity Testing and Shopper, aren't part of the four SMS tiers, and that's easy to overlook. They sit in a separate Postscript AI Plan at $699/mo., with per message rates from $0.003 to $0.30 depending on product and message type. The page also mentions Postscript Plus, a managed marketing service with SMS strategists, and Fondue CashBack, without figures here.

Advice on reading the Postscript pricing page

Here's what the page shows. The tiers are separated by the monthly fee, by the per-message rate (which falls from $0.009 to $0.007 per SMS across the first three tiers), by opt-in Keyword limits on Starter and by support, analytics and API access higher up. Carrier fees are charged on top on every plan, Starter has a $49 monthly minimum spend, Enterprise needs a conversation, and the AI products are a separate plan, as of Nov 2026.

Before you open the page, it helps to know how many messages you send in a typical month, split between SMS and MMS, since that drives most of the bill. If texts are mainly for cart recovery, our guide to abandoned cart software covers that job from a wider angle.
