# Salesmsg Pricing Plans 2026: The Complete Cost Breakdown

_Published: June 4, 2026_

Salesmsg offers two business texting plans with multiple credit tiers. Basic starts at $25 per month and includes 500 monthly credits. Pro starts at $330 per month with 10,000 monthly credits. Enterprise pricing is available on request.

The subscription price is only part of the total cost. Businesses using local numbers pay one-time 10DLC registration fees plus a recurring monthly campaign fee, while carrier surcharges apply to every message sent. Additional team members cost $10 per month each, extra phone numbers cost $5 per month each, and unused subscription credits expire at the end of the billing cycle.

Credits also cover more than SMS. Voice calls consume one credit per minute, call forwarding uses two credits per minute, and MMS messages consume more credits than standard SMS. A plan sized only around message volume can run out sooner than expected.

This guide breaks down every Salesmsg pricing tier, explains how credits, carrier fees, and add-on costs affect your monthly bill, estimates real costs at four common sending volumes, and compares Salesmsg with TextBolt, an [email-to-SMS gateway](https://textbolt.com/) that includes team access in a flat monthly plan instead of charging per user.

## How Much Does Salesmsg Cost per Month?

Salesmsg offers three plan levels. Basic and Pro each contain a credit selector that changes both the credit allowance and the price, so the headline figure is a starting point rather than a fixed rate.

### Basic Plan Pricing

Basic suits individuals and small teams sending lower volume. Annual billing runs from $252 per year.

| **Credits per year** | **Credits per month** | **Annual total** | **Monthly billing** |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6,000 | 500 | $252 | $25 |
| 12,000 | 1,000 | $504 | $50 |
| 30,000 | 2,500 | $1,008 | $100 |
| 60,000 | 5,000 | $1,812 | $180 |
| 90,000 | 7,500 | $2,520 | $250 |

Monthly billing starts at $25 for the entry tier.

### Pro Plan Pricing

Pro is built for teams sending higher volume, starting at 120,000 credits per year. Each step up adds 60,000 credits for $1,512, a flat marginal rate of 2.52 cents per credit.

Pro is built for teams sending higher volume, starting at 120,000 credits per year. Each step up adds 60,000 credits for $1,512, a flat marginal rate of 2.52 cents per credit.

| **Credits per year** | **Credits per month** | **Annual total** | **Monthly billing** |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120,000 | 10,000 | $3,324 | $330 |
| 180,000 | 15,000 | $4,836 | $480 |
| 240,000 | 20,000 | $6,348 | $630 |
| 300,000 | 25,000 | $7,560 | $750 |
| 360,000 | 30,000 | $9,072 | $900 |
| 480,000 | 40,000 | $12,096 | $1,200 |
| 600,000 | 50,000 | $15,120 | $1,500 |

The table above covers the subscription only. Several charges bill on top of every plan, whichever tier you choose:

- **Additional user seats:** $10 per month per user, or $100 per year, recurring
- **Additional phone numbers:** $5 per month, or $50 per year, recurring
- **10DLC brand registration:** $4.50, one-time, local numbers only
- **10DLC campaign verification:** $15, one-time, local numbers only
- **10DLC monthly campaign fee:** $1.50 to $10 per month depending on use case, recurring
- **Standard brand vetting:** $41.50, one-time, Standard-tier brands only
- **T-Mobile campaign activation:** $50, one-time, all campaigns except Starter
- **Carrier surcharges:** $0.0025 to $0.005 per SMS, passed through with no markup
- **Failed message processing fee:** $0.001 on some messages returning a Failed status

The one-time fees drop off after setup. The campaign fee and carrier surcharges repeat every month, even in a month where you send nothing.

Every tier includes one seat and one phone number, so seat and number fees apply only from the second one onward.

### Salesmsg Pricing Features Included in Every Plan

Every subscription ships with the same Salesmsg features kit:

- One phone number, local or toll-free, at no separate charge
- Two-way SMS and MMS from a web dashboard and mobile apps
- Voice calling in the same inbox as text threads
- Mass texting with unlimited contacts
- CRM integrations including HubSpot, Salesforce, ActiveCampaign, and Pipedrive
- Built-in AI agents for lead qualification and meeting booking
- A 14-day free trial with 25 message credits
- A 30-day money-back guarantee, refunded less credits used

Trial accounts receive a temporary local number that is removed on upgrade, and every trial message carries a “Salesmsg Trial:” prefix. Salesmsg operates in the US and Canada only.

The dashboard is the product’s strength. Conversations sit in a shared inbox, agent assignment is native, and reporting covers the usual sales coaching metrics. It is built for [two-way messaging](https://textbolt.com/blog/two-way-messaging/) where a reply needs to land on a specific rep’s screen rather than in a shared folder.

## Salesmsg Pricing Breakdown by Business Size and Message Volume

The [Salesmsg pricing tiers ](https://www.salesmessage.com/pricing)are easy to understand: choose a monthly credit allowance, pay a fixed subscription fee, and purchase additional credits if you exceed your plan limit. The more important question is how those costs compare in real-world business scenarios.

To make that easier, let’s look at three common usage levels and compare how Salesmsg pricing stacks up against TextBolt at each stage of growth.

### 1. Small Businesses (Up to 500 Messages Per Month)

A solo rep, a one-person clinic front desk, or a two-person sales pair sending close to 500 SMS a month maps to Salesmsg’s $25 plan. Here is what the first month actually looks like on that plan, sending 500 standard SMS from one seat:

- 500 Credits plan: $25.00
- 10DLC brand registration (one-time): $4.50
- 10DLC campaign verification (one-time): $15.00
- Monthly campaign fee (low-volume mixed): $1.50
- Carrier surcharges (500 SMS at roughly $0.003): ~$1.50
- **First month total: ~$47.50**

That is nearly double the advertised $25 in month one. The one-time 10DLC fees fall away after that, but add a second teammate ($10/month seat) and the recurring bill still lands around $38 a month.

**For comparison**: TextBolt’s $29 Basic plan carries the same 500 messages, with 10DLC carrier fees bundled into the $45/year toll-free number plan instead of arriving as separate monthly line items. The moment a second teammate joins, the $49 Standard plan covers up to 10 team members on the same flat fee, while Salesmsg keeps adding $10 per user per month.

### 2. Mid-Sized Businesses (1,000 to 2,500 Messages Monthly)

A three-to-five-person sales or recruiting team sending between 1,000 and 2,500 messages a month maps to Salesmsg’s $49 Premium plan or its $99 plan. Textbolt’s $49 Standard or $99 Professional plan covers the same monthly volume on a flat fee with 10 seats included.

Per-credit math is close in this volume band. The cost difference sits in the add-ons, not in the headline plan. Take a practical example: a four-person recruiting team sending 1,000 SMS a month on Salesmsg’s $49 Premium plan.

- 1,000 Credits plan: $49.00
- Three extra seats at $10 each: $30.00
- Monthly 10DLC campaign fee: $1.50 to $10.00
- Carrier surcharges (1,000 SMS at roughly $0.003): ~$3.00
- **Real monthly total: ~$83.50 to $92.00**, against a $49 sticker price

**For comparison,** the same team on TextBolt’s $49 Standard plan pays $49 flat, with 10 seats already included. The only add-ons are a $45/year toll-free number fee and never-expire top-up credits that absorb spike months instead of resetting at cycle close.

### 3. High-Volume Businesses (5,000+ Messages Per Month)

Multi-rep outbound sales teams, large recruiting operations, and always-on support desks running 5,000 messages a month or more map to Salesmsg’s $179 or $249 plan. The effective per-credit price (around 3.15¢ at $179 and 3.10¢ at $249) is competitive with the rest of the subscription SMS category at this volume.

**For comparison,** TextBolt does not publish a single-plan equivalent at 5,000+ SMS a month. The standard path is the $99 Professional plan plus a sized top-up credit pack that never expires, with 10 seats included so headcount never adds a line item. That works in this band because the top-up reserve covers overflow months without forcing a permanent plan upgrade.

### Which Platform Offers Better Value?

Both platforms serve different communication needs.

Salesmsg is designed for businesses that want a dedicated SMS, MMS and calling platform with conversation management, and texting campaigns.

TextBolt is designed for organizations that want to [send and receive SMS messages through email](https://textbolt.com/blog/how-to-send-email-to-text/). Whether the sender is a person using Gmail or Outlook, or a system generating automated email alerts, TextBolt converts those emails into business-grade SMS without requiring APIs, SDKs, or custom development.

In the enterprise pricing plans, TextBolt includes [custom integrations](https://textbolt.com/integration/) and volume-based discounts.

If your goal is to build a dedicated mass texting operation, Salesmsg is likely the stronger fit.

If your goal is to [email to SMS software](https://textbolt.com/blog/email-to-sms-software/) that fits to your existing email workflow, replace carrier email-to-SMS gateways, route system alerts to phones, or add SMS capabilities to tools that already send email, TextBolt may provide a simpler workflow with fewer moving parts.

Looking Beyond the Monthly Plan Price?

User fees, phone numbers, credit expiration policies, and top-up credit rules can all affect your total SMS costs. See how TextBolt’s pricing model compares before choosing a platform.

## Hidden Costs and Fees Beyond Salesmsg’s Advertised Pricing

None of these charges are concealed. Salesmsg documents all of them across its pricing page and help center. But they do not appear in the headline figure, and they change what a plan actually costs.

### 1. Per-Seat Pricing That Scales With Team Size

Every plan ships with one seat. Each additional user costs $10 per month, or $100 per year.

A six-person team on a $50 plan pays $50 plus $50 in seat fees. The credit allowance does not change. Sales message notes that graduated pricing applies above a certain seat count, so the rate improves at scale, but the line item never disappears.

TextBolt handles the same scenario differently. Multiple staff members text customers from a single account, with team access bundled into the plan.

### 2. $5 per Extra Phone Number, Every Month

Each plan includes one number. Every additional number costs $5 per month or $50 per year, with rates varying by volume.

Teams running separate lines for sales, support, and recruiting, or a toll-free number alongside a local one, tend to reach three to five numbers without trying. That is another $15 to $25 a month over the plan.

### 3. Subscription Credits Do Not Roll Over

Monthly and annual plan credits reset at the end of the cycle. Buy 2,500 credits, send 1,800, and the remaining 700 do not carry forward.

One-off purchases and Auto-Recharge credits behave differently. Those carry over until they are used, with no published expiry.

Annual plans soften this. All credits for the year land at once, so seasonal peaks and troughs net out across twelve months.

On monthly billing the sizing decision is sharper. Oversize the plan and forfeit credits in quiet months, or size it tight and buy top-ups in busy ones.

### 4. Calls, MMS, and Long Messages Share the Same Credit Pool

Salesmsg credits cover more than outgoing SMS. Both incoming and outgoing text messages consume credits based on message length, while voice calls, AI agents, transcripts, and certain premium features draw from the same credit balance.

According to the [Salesmsg credits documentation](https://help.salesmessage.com/en/articles/3327206-how-do-message-credits-work#subscription-message-credits), a standard SMS of up to **160 characters** (or **153 characters** when certain Unicode characters are used) typically consumes one credit, while longer messages use additional credits. MMS messages consume two credits. Voice calls use one credit per minute, and call forwarding uses two credits per minute.

A 2,500-credit plan can support roughly 2,500 one-credit SMS messages. In practice, two-way conversations, longer messages, MMS, voice calls, AI features, and transcripts reduce the total number of messages your credit balance supports.

Budget against actual credit usage rather than the headline allowance. Our [SMS vs MMS](https://textbolt.com/blog/sms-vs-mms/) guide explains how message length and media affect SMS usage.

### 5. 10DLC Carrier Fees Billed Separately on Local Numbers

Businesses using local numbers pay **A2P 10DLC registration fees** in addition to their subscription. Businesses using toll-free numbers follow the separate toll-free verification process instead.

The published fee schedule includes a $4.50 one-time brand registration fee, a $15 one-time campaign verification fee, and a recurring monthly campaign fee ranging from $1.50 to $10, depending on campaign type. Standard brands also pay a $41.50 one-time vetting fee, while new T-Mobile campaigns (except Starter) incur a $50 one-time activation fee. Both registration paths require a US EIN.

Carrier surcharges apply on top of the subscription price. U.S. long-code SMS carrier fees range from $0.0025 to $0.005 per message, depending on the carrier. T-Mobile and Sprint apply surcharges to both incoming and outgoing SMS, while most other U.S. carriers charge only for outbound traffic. Toll-free SMS carrier fees generally range from $0.0025 to $0.0035 per message. Canadian carrier fees are higher, reaching $0.0085 per SMS on Bell and Virgin.

Salesmsg also passes through a $0.001 processing fee for certain messages that receive a Failed status. Carrier fees are billed at the end of each monthly billing cycle, every 30 days on annual plans, or earlier if accumulated carrier fees exceed $100. Carrier fees and 10DLC pass-through charges are non-refundable.

If these add-ons do not fit your budget, our [Salesmsg alternatives](https://textbolt.com/blog/salesmsg-alternatives/) guide covers platforms with simpler pricing models.

## Salesmsg vs Textbolt: A Side-by-Side Pricing Comparison

Salesmsg pricing looks competitive at first glance, but the total cost depends on more than the monthly plan. Per-user charges, extra phone numbers, 10DLC fees, and carrier surcharges can increase the final bill. TextBolt takes a different approach by including team access in its plans and keeping pricing more predictable.

| **Aspect** | **Salesmsg** | **TextBolt** |
|---|---|---|
| **Best for** | Teams wanting a dedicated SMS and calling dashboard | Teams wanting SMS inside their email workflow |
| **Entry plan** | $25/month, or $21/month billed annually (500 credits/month) | $29/month, or $23.20/month billed annually (500 credits/month) |
| **High volume** | Pro from $329/month, or $277/month billed annually (10,000 credits/month) | Enterprise pricing for higher-volume messaging |
| **Annual discount** | Saves you 20% (about 2 months free) | Offers 20% discount on annual billing |
| **Additional users** | $10/month or $100/year per seat | Up to 10 users included on Standard and Professional plans |
| **Additional numbers** | $5/month or $50/year per number | One toll-free number included with every plan |
| **Subscription credits** | Reset each billing cycle, no rollover | Reset each billing cycle, no rollover |
| **Top-up credits** | Carry over until used | Carry over until used |
| **Voice calling** | Included (1 credit per minute) | Not offered |
| **Free trial** | 14 days, 25 credits | 7 days, 10 credits |
| **10DLC fees** | Passed through on local numbers | 10DLC onboarding handled by TextBolt |
| **Team pricing** | Per-user charges apply | Team access included in plan pricing |

## Choose the Right Platform for Your Business

Salesmsg fits organizations that want a dedicated SMS platform with calling, shared inboxes, and campaign tools in a central dashboard. It also prices better at genuine scale. To judge whether it suits your team, the [Salesmsg reviews](https://textbolt.com/blog/salesmsg-reviews/) roundup covers what users report.

TextBolt fits businesses that want to manage SMS from Gmail or Outlook while keeping team access inside the subscription, and organizations replacing a retired carrier email-to-text gateway.

Look past the advertised monthly price. Seat fees, number fees, credit expiry, and carrier pass-throughs move the real number more than the tier you pick.

For teams with uneven volume, understanding how [SMS credits never expire](https://textbolt.com/blog/sms-credits-never-expire/) on top-up purchases matters as much as comparing plan tiers. Both platforms carry top-ups forward, so the difference shows up in the subscription rules rather than the reserve.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does Salesmsg charge per user?**

Yes. Every subscription includes one seat. Additional users cost $10 per month or $100 per year, recurring for as long as the user stays. TextBolt takes the opposite approach, including up to 10 users on Standard and Professional plans at no per-user cost.

**Is Textbolt cheaper than Salesmsg?**

It depends on volume and team size. At low volume the two are close, and Salesmsg prices lower above roughly 10,000 messages a month. TextBolt bundles team access, so the gap narrows as headcount grows rather than volume.

**What happens if I exceed my monthly Salesmsg credits?**

You can purchase additional credits automatically through Auto-Recharge, billed separately from the subscription. Unlike plan credits, these carry over until fully used. TextBolt handles overage differently, continuing to deliver messages and billing additional credits at your plan rate.

**Do Salesmsg credits only cover text messages?**

No. Calling consumes one credit per minute and call forwarding consumes two, and AI agents draw on the same balance. TextBolt credits cover SMS segments only, so message volume is the single variable you size against.

**Does Salesmsg support email-to-SMS?**

Salesmsg is built around its web dashboard and mobile apps. Organizations that prefer an existing email workflow generally choose an email-to-SMS platform such as TextBolt, which sends texts from Gmail or Outlook and routes replies back to the sender’s inbox.

**What 10DLC fees does Salesmsg charge?**

On local numbers, Salesmsg passes through a $4.50 brand registration, a $15 campaign verification, and a recurring $1.50 to $10 monthly campaign fee. Toll-free numbers use toll-free verification instead. TextBolt handles 10DLC registration as part of the service.

**How quickly can you switch to TextBolt?**

Account setup takes 10 to 30 minutes. 10DLC approval follows within 48 hours, and you cannot send until it clears. A 7-day free trial with 10 credits lets you test the workflow before billing starts.
