# CPaaS voice and messaging pricing compared Canonical: https://warmtransfer.net/knowledge/cpaas-pricing-comparison Last verified: 2026-10-14 Twilio, Telnyx, Plivo and Bandwidth each publish US per-message SMS list rates and US per-minute voice list rates[^55][^37][^11][^2][^57][^36][^12][^3]. Carrier fees, 10DLC registration fees and number rental are charged separately from those list rates at several of these vendors[^43][^9][^17][^27]. ## Messaging list rates | Vendor | Sender type | Outbound US SMS list rate | |---|---|---| | Twilio | Long code, toll-free, short code | $0.0083 per segment[^54] | | Telnyx | Local (long code including 10DLC) | $0.004 per message part plus carrier fee[^37] | | Telnyx | Toll-free | $0.0055 per part plus carrier fee[^39] | | Telnyx | Short code | $0.007 per part plus carrier fee[^38] | | Plivo | Long code, short code | $0.0077 per message[^11] | | Plivo | Toll-free | $0.0079 per message[^11] | | Bandwidth | 10DLC | $0.004[^2] | | Bandwidth | Toll-free | $0.007[^2] | | Bandwidth | Short code | $0.008[^2] | Twilio lists US long code SMS at $0.0083 per segment for both outbound and inbound messages, before carrier fees[^55]. Telnyx lists its local and short code SMS rates for both outbound and inbound[^37][^38]. Plivo charges the same SMS rate outbound and inbound[^11]. Twilio bills SMS per segment and MMS per message, so a long or Unicode SMS that splits into several segments is billed several times[^49]. Telnyx prices SMS per message part[^37]. For MMS, Twilio lists US long code MMS at $0.022 per outbound message and $0.0165 per inbound message[^52]. Twilio charges $0.02 per inbound MMS on US toll-free numbers, higher than the $0.0165 inbound rate on long codes[^56]. Telnyx lists US local MMS at $0.015 per outbound message and $0.005 per inbound message, each plus carrier fee[^34]. Telnyx lists US toll-free MMS at $0.016 per message in both directions, plus carrier fee[^39]. Plivo lists US MMS at $0.0180 per message on long code and $0.0200 on short code and toll-free[^10]. Outside the US, Twilio prices Canadian short code SMS at $0.0315 per segment in each direction, against $0.0083 for Canadian long codes and toll-free numbers[^44]. ## Volume discounts and price stability Twilio's US SMS pricing page publishes no volume tiers, and volume and committed-use discounts are handled through Twilio sales or an account team[^46]. Telnyx applies messaging volume discounts automatically, starting at 100 million parts per month for local senders and 500,000 messages per month for short codes[^31]. Twilio's US SMS page dates its pricing as current as of October 2026 and states that prices may change without notice[^50]. ## Carrier fees Twilio passes through an AT&T carrier fee on US long code traffic of $0.0035 per SMS in each direction and $0.009 per MMS in each direction[^43]. Twilio passes through a T-Mobile carrier fee on US long code traffic of $0.0045 per outbound SMS, $0.0025 per inbound SMS and $0.01 per MMS in each direction[^51]. Twilio lists a $0.02 per-message carrier fee for outbound free-to-end-user (FTEU) short code SMS on AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon[^45]. Plivo applies carrier-specific surcharge fees per message on top of its base messaging rates[^9]. Bandwidth states that its published rates do not include applicable taxes or fees, and it does not itemise carrier fees on the pricing page[^1]. Telnyx's pricing page lists no carrier fee for outbound local messages to "all other carriers" outside its named carrier rows[^29]. Sources disagree on Telnyx's T-Mobile fee: the messaging pricing page lists $0.0045 outbound and $0.0025 inbound on local SMS[^32], while the 10DLC Fees and Charges article lists $0.003 to send and $0.003 to receive on registered 10DLC SMS[^33]. Sources disagree on Telnyx's AT&T fee as well: the messaging pricing page lists $0.0035 outbound and $0.0035 inbound on local SMS[^23], while the 10DLC Fees and Charges article lists $0.003 to send and free to receive on registered 10DLC SMS[^24]. This is disputed for Verizon too: Telnyx's messaging pricing page lists $0.0045 per outbound local SMS, $0.007 per outbound MMS and no fee on inbound[^40], while Plivo lists a Verizon surcharge of $0.0050 per sent SMS on long code, short code and toll-free, with no receive surcharge[^14]. WarmTransfer's reading of the sources is that adding the $0.0045 T-Mobile outbound carrier fee to list rates gives an effective outbound US long code SMS cost of about $0.0128 at Twilio, $0.0122 at Plivo and $0.0085 at Telnyx, so headline rates alone overstate how far apart the vendors are in proportion[^5]. We infer that major-carrier SMS pass-through fees are largely the same across Twilio, Plivo and Telnyx's pricing page, which suggests they are set upstream by the carriers and are not a point of vendor competition[^4]. ## 10DLC registration fees Telnyx states that from 3 February 2025 any unregistered 10DLC traffic is blocked altogether[^60]. Telnyx passes through a $4.50 10DLC brand registration application fee[^17]. Telnyx charges $15 per 10DLC campaign review, a manual review fee passed through from carriers and charged per submission[^18]. Telnyx lists the monthly 10DLC campaign fee as $10 for standard-volume use cases and $1.50 for low-volume mixed campaigns[^22]. Telnyx lists special monthly campaign fees of $2 for sole proprietor, $3 for charity, $5 for emergency and $30 for agents and franchises[^21]. Telnyx bills 10DLC campaign fees for 3 months up front, then monthly on a recurring basis[^16]. Telnyx states that it does not currently add a markup to 10DLC registration and campaign fees[^20]. ## Voice rates Twilio Programmable Voice lists US local calls at $0.0140 per minute outbound and $0.0085 per minute inbound, pay as you go[^57]. Twilio charges $0.0220 per minute to receive calls on a US toll-free number and $0.0140 per minute to call US toll-free numbers[^58]. Twilio prices outbound calls to Alaska at $0.0945 per minute, while calls to Hawaii are priced at the $0.0140 contiguous US rate[^42]. Twilio lists browser/app (client) calling and its SIP interface at $0.0040 per minute in each direction in the US[^47]. Twilio charges $0.10 per SIP REFER handled on its SIP interface[^48]. Telnyx SIP trunking lists US outbound local calls from $0.005 per minute and outbound toll-free calls as free[^36]. Telnyx SIP trunking lists US inbound local calls from $0.0032 per minute and inbound toll-free from $0.015 per minute, with toll-free rates varying by calling number[^35]. Telnyx Voice API (Call Control) charges a $0.002 per-minute platform fee on outbound calls and on inbound calls to local and toll-free numbers, on top of the SIP trunking per-minute rate[^25]. Telnyx's Voice API pricing page lists its own US outbound list rate as $0.007 per minute, the $0.002 API fee plus the $0.005 SIP rate[^41]. Plivo lists US local calls at $0.0115 per minute outbound and $0.0055 per minute inbound, with rates dated May 2026[^12]. Plivo lists US toll-free calls at $0.0060 per minute outbound and $0.0180 per minute inbound[^13]. Plivo lists Browser SDK and SIP calling at $0.0033 per minute in each direction[^7]. Bandwidth's Voice API lists US local calls at $0.0100 per minute outbound and $0.0055 per minute inbound[^3]. ## Numbers and short codes Twilio charges $1.15 per month for a US local number and $2.15 per month for a US toll-free number[^53]. Telnyx prices US local and toll-free numbers from $1 per month and charges an extra $0.10 per month per number to enable SMS and MMS[^27]. Telnyx publishes number volume tiers that fall to $0.25 per number per month at 5,000 or more numbers[^28]. Telnyx lists emergency calling as a separate $1.50 per month per number charge alongside SIP trunking[^26]. Plivo rents US SMS-enabled long code numbers at $0.50 per month and toll-free numbers at $1.00 per month[^6]. Telnyx lists a US short code at $1,000 per month and a vanity short code at $1,500 per month[^30]. Plivo lists a US short code at $500 per month (random) or $1,000 per month (vanity), billed quarterly, plus a one-time $1,500 fee at purchase[^8].
