Pricing & conditions
How message pricing works in Instasent: prices vary by country, your plan applies a discount, and a positive balance is required to send.
In Instasent a message's price is set per country: it depends on where it's going, because it's each country's carriers that set the cost. On top of that standard price, your plan gives you a discount.
How pricing works
- Prices vary by country. Each destination has its own price; you check it for a given country in the cost calculator.
- Your plan gives a discount. Higher plans get a better per-message price than the standard rate — the panel shows it as a percentage off the standard pricing. A higher plan lowers your cost per message.
- A positive balance is required to send. Each message draws from your balance at the per-country price, so you need enough funds (or included monthly credit) to cover the send. See Balance.

RCS and fallback
When an RCS message can't be delivered, it can fall back to SMS; SMS fallback explains how that works as a channel. If you want to know how that fallback is billed, get in touch and we'll walk you through it.
