| Platform fee | Quote-based | $250/month per verified RCS Agent |
| Carrier fees | Not itemised publicly | Passed through at cost, on their own line |
| Primary market | Europe, headquartered in Oslo | United States only |
| Commitment | Contracted | None, no minimum term |

For a US buyer the geography matters more than the rate card here. LINK Mobility is a European operator with deep coverage across European networks, and that is a real strength for a business messaging customers across several countries. It is the wrong shape for a business whose audience is entirely on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and UScellular, where what you want is direct US carrier connectivity and someone who files your brand and campaign registrations with The Campaign Registry. Qualify on where your customers are rather than on where your company is.
If you do run a quote, ask for the rich text and rich media rates separately, whether US carrier surcharges are passed through at cost, and what the minimum term is. Our equivalent numbers are published on the pricing page, itemised per billing transparency, and the category-wide breakdown is in RCS pricing by provider.
A US business that wants a platform tuned to US carriers and US regulation, with pricing on the page and a team in your time zone, rather than a Europe-first provider. Common in US financial services and retail. Comparing other global providers? See SimplyRCS vs Infobip and SimplyRCS vs Sinch.
