Pricing FAQ
How accurate are these estimates?
Our request-cost estimate uses current plan prices and request overages, assuming one request per message. Additional API calls, session needs, bandwidth, and taxes can change your cost. Competitor figures are illustrative; verify current provider pricing for your region and use case.
Are there hidden fees?
Paid plans have per-request overage charges after their included request quota. RapidAPI also lists a separate bandwidth allowance and overage fee. Review marketplace pricing before subscribing.
What happens if I exceed my plan limit?
Basic is hard-limited to 100 requests per month. Paid plans allow request overages at the rate listed on RapidAPI. This calculator selects the lowest estimated request cost, including paid overages; your session requirements may need a higher plan.
Is the free tier really free?
The Basic plan includes 100 API requests per month. Setup and status checks count toward that allowance, so it does not guarantee 100 messages.
