Honest math, shown in full.
Good ROI numbers are transparent ones. Here’s exactly how the calculator works, no hidden assumptions, no inflated promises.
The savings (what you can count on)
We compare your volume at your current provider published rates against SimplyRCS carrier-rate pricing. These are real, verifiable numbers: rich RCS at some providers runs about $0.0220 per message; SimplyRCS prices at carrier rate plus a flat platform fee, with carrier fees passed through at cost. The savings figure is straightforward arithmetic you can check yourself.
The revenue lift (what you can estimate)
This side is an estimate you control. RCS drives higher engagement than plain SMS: verified branding earns trust, and one-tap actions lower the friction to convert. We apply a conservative default uplift to your campaign messages and your conversion value, and you can adjust every assumption. We label it an estimate because your real results depend on your audience, offers, and execution, not a number we would ever pretend to guarantee.
Why SimplyRCS costs less.
No markup on carriers
Most providers resell carrier capacity at a 3 to 4 times markup. SimplyRCS connects directly to Tier-1 carriers and passes fees through at cost: the savings are structural, not a promotional discount.
No feature tiers
Bots, analytics, inbox, API, all included free. You are not paying separately for the capabilities other providers gate behind upgrades.
One flat platform fee
A single $250/month per verified RCS Agent, all-in, instead of activation fees, change fees, and per-interaction surcharges that stack up elsewhere.
ROI questions.
What is the ROI of RCS?
The ROI of RCS comes from two sources: lower messaging costs and higher engagement. On cost, a platform like SimplyRCS prices at carrier rates with no per-message markup, often a fraction of providers like Twilio. On revenue, RCS drives more action than plain SMS through verified branding and one-tap buttons. The free RCS ROI Calculator estimates both for your specific volume.
How much does RCS cost compared to Twilio?
Twilio prices a rich RCS message at about $0.0220; SimplyRCS prices at carrier rate plus a flat platform fee, with carrier fees passed through at cost, typically a meaningful saving at volume. On a 100,000-message campaign, SimplyRCS is often several times cheaper. The calculator shows your exact difference based on your volume and current provider.
Is the ROI calculator accurate?
The cost-savings side uses real, published provider rates and SimplyRCS carrier-rate pricing, so it is verifiable arithmetic. The revenue-lift side is a clearly-labeled estimate based on assumptions you can adjust, because actual revenue depends on your audience and offers. For exact numbers on your situation, request a custom quote.
How much can I save switching from Twilio to SimplyRCS?
It depends on your volume and message mix, but savings come from no carrier markup, no feature tiers, and one flat platform fee instead of stacked activation and per-interaction charges. Enter your monthly volume in the calculator to see your estimated annual savings, or get a custom quote for exact figures.
Does RCS really drive more revenue than SMS?
RCS generally drives higher engagement than SMS because messages are verified and branded (so customers trust them) and interactive (so customers can act in one tap). That tends to lift reads, taps, and conversions on campaigns. The calculator estimates the revenue impact using conservative, adjustable assumptions, since real results vary by business.
Is the calculator free to use?
Yes, completely free with no signup to see your results. You get your savings and revenue estimates instantly. If you would like a shareable PDF breakdown to forward to your team, you can have it emailed to you.
