Pick a channel, a country and a monthly volume to see an indicative monthly cost with the volume discount applied. Use it to sanity-check a budget before you ask for a quote.

## SMS

per SMS segment: https://omnichannels.ai/sms-pricing/

One SMS segment holds 160 Latin characters or 70 Arabic or Unicode characters; longer messages are split and billed per segment.

## WhatsApp

WhatsApp is charged at Meta's rate with zero markup. Meta's rates depend on the recipient's country and the template category, so treat this as a starting point; your quote shows the exact rate per market.

## RCS

RCS pricing depends on the message type and the operator. Messages to phones without RCS fall back to SMS and are billed as SMS.
