Verified RCS · SMS · MMS

Where SimplyRCS fits.

Two worlds in business messaging: API platforms you build on, and texting apps you log into. SimplyRCS is both — a full platform and a complete API at one low, RCS-native price.

The landscape

SimplyRCS vs the field

How we stack up against API platforms (Twilio, Bandwidth) and texting apps (EZ Texting, HeyMarket).

API or app — one price. The software is free with any sender — app, API, bots, inbox, and analytics included. Your only platform cost is the verified RCS Agent: a flat $250/month, all-in. Carrier, registry, and tax pass-throughs are itemized at cost, never marked up. Twilio sells you an API you build around; texting apps gate the API behind their top tier — with SimplyRCS the full platform comes standard, at the same rate whether you send by code or by click.
80–90% lessPer message than texting apps like EZ Texting and HeyMarket — which run $25 to $3,000+/month and price SMS around $0.05. SimplyRCS is $0.0039, with RCS built in.
