Customers act on messages they can recognize.
Scam texts have taught people to distrust any message from a number they do not know, and every legitimate business pays for it: the reminder that goes unread, the delivery update that gets reported. Noah Kamrat calls it the texting trust tax.
A verified RCS sender shows your business name, logo and verification mark before the customer reads a word, drawn from a sender record Google and the carriers approved. Where a phone cannot receive RCS, the same message falls back to SMS from your registered number, so name yourself in its first words.

Most RCS “solutions” are three vendors in a trench coat.
Launching RCS the hard way means stitching together a message builder from one company, carrier provisioning from another, and an analytics tool bolted on top, then waiting months while the paperwork clears. Every handoff is a place for things to break, and every vendor is another invoice.
One login for the entire lifecycle, and the AI does the heavy lifting on the build.
You bring the brand; we handle the rest.
The same comparison, line by line: what a stitched stack makes you assemble against what the platform includes.
| Capability | SimplyRCS | Stitched stack |
|---|---|---|
| Message builder | Included: AI bot builder, visual canvas, templates | A separate builder or CMS, licensed on its own |
| Carrier provisioning and verification | Filed for you: brand, 10DLC, carrier vetting, RCS agent | A separate CPaaS account; you file and chase |
| Inbox and replies | Included: shared inbox with routable queues | Build it, or buy a help-desk seat |
| Analytics | Included: delivery, read, tap, conversion, per channel | A BI tool bolted on, if the vendors expose the events |
| Time to first verified send | 2 to 4 weeks, target | Months, gated by whichever vendor is slowest |
| Invoices | One: carrier rates, no monthly platform fee | Three or more, none of them itemised the same way |
Build. Send. Measure. One platform, one bill.
Three jobs, one place. Here’s what each does.
Build with AI, refine on a canvas.
Describe the experience in plain English and the AI assembles the bot on a visual canvas: carousels, menus, data capture and human handoff, connected and ready. Shape every detail after. No code required; developers can drop to the API.
- AI bot builder: speak it into existence; every change is undoable
- Visual canvas: drag, connect, and edit cards, carousels, and flows
- Pre-built templates: product launches, cart recovery, reminders, surveys
- Multi-device preview: see iOS and Android renders, plus SMS/MMS fallback, before you send
Send from your brand, not a number.
Every message goes out verified: your name, logo and checkmark, vetted by Google before a single send. Broadcast with Blasts, converse in the Inbox, and let fallback drop to SMS or MMS when a device cannot receive RCS.
- Verified sender: branded identity vetted by the carriers and Google
- Blasts: broadcast to lists or segments with a live cost preview before send
- Fallback: RCS, then MMS, then SMS, so every message lands
- Every major US carrier: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile
Measure every tap, like UTM tracking for texts.
Track delivery, reads, taps, conversions and cost in one dashboard, broken down by sender, protocol, bot and campaign. Export to CSV or your warehouse and prove the lift over SMS.
- Real-time dashboard: messages, delivery rate, reads, contacts, cost
- Tap-level tracking: see exactly which buttons and cards customers touch
- Per-channel breakdown: RCS vs MMS vs SMS performance side by side
- Exports and reporting: CSV, scheduled reports, MO and MDR downloads
One place for replies, contacts, and content.
Replies land in a shared inbox your team works from. Contacts and consent stay in one list with a full opt-in and opt-out history. Approved media and templates live in a content library. Notifications keep order updates, reminders and alerts on their own rails.
- Shared inbox: replies, assignment, and human handoff from any bot
- Contacts and consent: one list, full opt-in and opt-out audit trail
- Content library: approved cards, media, and templates, reusable across campaigns
- Notifications: transactional and operational sends kept separate from marketing
RCS-led. Every channel included. One price.
SMS, MMS, toll-free, short codes and 10DLC live on the same platform as RCS, at carrier-rate pricing with the same free software. No separate contracts, no add-on fees.
The platform handles the hard parts.
Compliance, handled
We do brand registration, 10DLC, carrier vetting, and RCS sender verification for you. STOP and HELP are honored above the AI, instantly and unconditionally. Every consent event is logged for audit.
AI bounded by your flow
In text conversations the AI never writes a reply: it picks which of your authored replies fits, moves only along paths you built, and falls back to your flow if it is unsure. STOP and HELP are handled before it sees a message.
Integrates with your stack
Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Shopify, scheduling and EHR systems, helpdesks, and a full REST API with webhooks. Plug RCS into the tools you already run.
RCS platform questions.
Is SimplyRCS a managed RCS messaging service or self-serve software?
Both, on one bill. The software is self-serve: an AI bot builder, blasts, inbox and analytics you run yourself. The RCS messaging service side, brand verification, carrier approval and 10DLC filing, is handled for you, and messages are billed at carrier rates with the software itself free.
What is RCS business messaging?
RCS Business Messaging, or RBM, is the business side of the RCS standard: verified companies sending branded messages into the phone’s default inbox, with rich cards, carousels, tap-to-act buttons, and two-way conversation, plus fallback to SMS or MMS when a handset cannot receive them. It is the same protocol consumers use for chat, governed and priced differently because the sender is a registered brand rather than a person.
What is an RCS messaging platform?
An RCS messaging platform is software that lets businesses create, send, and measure Rich Communication Services messages: verified, branded texts with rich cards, carousels, buttons, and two-way conversation delivered in the phone’s default messaging app. SimplyRCS is an AI-native RCS platform that also handles SMS and MMS, with carrier verification built in and fallback that is on by default for API sends, can be turned off per send and is decided per recipient.
What can you do with the SimplyRCS platform?
Three things: build interactive RCS experiences with an AI bot builder and visual canvas, send them as verified branded messages across RCS, SMS, and MMS, and measure delivery, reads, taps, and conversions in real time. Brand verification, compliance, two-way inbox, and analytics are all included.
Do I need to know how to code to use an RCS platform?
No. SimplyRCS is built so marketing teams can launch without code. Describe a campaign in plain English and the AI builds it on a canvas you can edit. Developers can use the full REST API and signed webhooks when they want programmatic control.
Does the RCS platform work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Apple supports RCS in the default Messages app, and Android supports it in Google Messages, so verified branded messages reach both. When a device cannot receive RCS, SimplyRCS falls back to SMS or MMS: by default on API sends, through the fallback steps you add on a campaign, and automatically for bot replies.
How much does the SimplyRCS platform cost?
The software is free with any sender: app, API, bots, inbox, and analytics all included. You pay usage-based messaging rates at carrier cost, with no monthly platform or agent fee. Carrier and registry fees are passed through at cost and itemized, never marked up.
How is SimplyRCS different from Twilio?
Twilio is a developer API you build around; SimplyRCS is a complete platform and an API at one price, with white-glove RCS setup, done-for-you compliance, and pricing you can read. Most brands go live in weeks without standing up an engineering team.
How long does it take to launch on the platform?
Weeks, not months. SimplyRCS handles brand registration, 10DLC, carrier vetting, and RCS sender verification for you, and the AI drafts your first experiences while the paperwork clears.
Is SimplyRCS a business texting service, a business texting platform, or an RCS platform?
All three, on one bill. As a business texting service it sends SMS, MMS, toll-free, short-code and 10DLC traffic from registered numbers with fallback decided per recipient; as a platform it includes the campaign builder, two-way inbox, bots and analytics that other business texting software sells as tiers; and it is RCS-first, so every send goes out verified and branded to the phones that can take it. The software is free and there is no monthly platform fee; you pay the published per-message rate, and RCS Sender ID setup and review is a one-time $250 support service, waived with Premium Support.
