Every row names the winner in words. Scores are out of 10 on the six equally weighted criteria; Rate, volume-band and fee read dates are listed in the pricing evidence above. Not captured means our capture holds no value for that field, which is not the same as the provider lacking it. Not published means the provider's own pages were checked and state no figure.
What each costs at your volume
A per message provider is priced by the band, top-up or number type your volume reaches, before number rental and carrier fees. A plan provider is priced by its cheapest published plan, or plan plus overage, that covers the volume, with the number and carrier fees it publishes added in: the rule the SMS marketing platforms comparison uses.
