A rate "not set at this volume" means the provider's published bands stop short of it or start above it; the price at that volume is by quote. Rates are the provider's own, at its own precision, for an outbound SMS segment on a long code; a provider that prices by top-up, plan or credit bundle is priced on the band your volume reaches. Podium, SlickText, Trumpia, Textedly, YepText, Skipio, Attentive, Birdeye, Community, Klaviyo, Weave publish no per message rate.
The cheapest SMS APIs with number and carrier fees added are ranked on the cheapest SMS APIs, and every provider is scored on six criteria on the best SMS gateway providers. A business with no developer pays by plan or credits in a web app instead, compared on mass texting services.
