Every plan runs on a dedicated, single-tenant server that is never shared with another client, with application firewall, load balancing, and monitoring included as standard. Pick the tier by the throughput and monthly volume you actually need, and by whether your own customers need to bind to you over SMPP.
For customers who only need a web panel and HTTP API
Same capacity, plus your own SMPP server for downstream binds
For an established aggregator or reseller with sub-resellers
For high-volume or multi-country aggregators
For banks, NBFCs, telcos, and regulated contracts
Prices in USD, exclusive of applicable taxes. Setup is a one-time charge covering installation, carrier configuration, routing setup, and training.
Most platforms in this category treat an SMPP server as a top-tier feature and gate it behind their most expensive plans. We do not. If your customers are developers or systems that expect to bind over SMPP rather than call an HTTP API, Launch SMPP gives you that at $299 a month with 5 concurrent downstream binds, and Growth takes it to 25. That is the single line item worth checking on any quote you compare us against. See SMPP vs HTTP API for why it matters at volume.

Monthly volume figures are fair-use allowances, not hard cut-offs. See the fair use and overage section below for exactly what happens when you exceed them.
Every plan includes the scrubbing and validation engine, which filters registered numbers out of promotional sends and matches messages against DLT templates before they queue. The NCPR and DLT data itself is not provided by SMPPCenter. You obtain and maintain it under your own registration with the relevant registry or operator, and load it into the platform. If you would rather scrub against an external provider in real time, we support external API scrubbing at an additional cost. Talk to us about which route fits your setup.
Tell us your throughput, monthly volume, and whether your customers need SMPP binds, and we will point you at the right plan rather than the biggest one.
Get a QuoteWe do not publish a single overage rate, because what is fair depends on your destination mix, whether the excess is occasional campaign spill or sustained growth, and the route quality behind it. Your rate is worked out with you against the volume you actually expect, and written into your agreement. That means you will never see an overage charge at a rate you have not already agreed. Overage is deliberately set so that sustained excess costs more than simply moving up a tier, and if you exceed your allowance three months running we will ask you to move up at renewal rather than leave you overpaying on the wrong plan.

FAQ
The Fine Print, Up Front
All prices are in US dollars and exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, and withholding. Indian rupee figures shown against channel volume pricing are indicative and convert at the prevailing rate on your invoice.
Subscriptions are billed monthly, quarterly, or annually in advance. Annual prepay includes two months free. Setup is a flat $100 one-time charge on every plan, billed with your first invoice, and waived entirely where you prepay quarterly or annually. Downgrades are not automatic, because your dedicated server and database are provisioned for the tier you buy. Talk to us before committing if your volume is likely to fluctuate.
We do not suspend, throttle to zero, or terminate your service for exceeding an allowance. Traffic above your daily threshold is queued and released in the next window, and no charge arises from daily queueing alone. Usage above your monthly allowance is billed as an overage charge in arrears on your next invoice, at the rate agreed with you and recorded in your order form. Overage rates are set against your expected volume and destination mix rather than published as a single figure, and are agreed before you sign, so no overage charge ever arrives at a rate you have not already seen. Overage is charged against the monthly allowance only, never the daily threshold.
Channel volume on the WhatsApp, RCS, Telegram, and OBD Voice ladder is counted on delivered messages, not submitted. A message submitted but not delivered does not count toward your volume and is not billed. Published ladder rates apply to perpetual licence holders; on a rented subscription plan, channel rates are quoted separately and recorded in your order form. For other usage, the counting basis is stated in your order form and matches what your platform reports show. Our platform records are the primary evidence of usage, save in the case of manifest error.
We alert you at 80% and 100% of your monthly allowance, so an overage charge is never the first you hear of it. If you exceed your monthly allowance in three consecutive months, we may ask you to move to the next plan from your following renewal, on thirty days' notice. Any overage accrued in your final month remains payable on termination.
Where your plan carries an uptime SLA, it covers availability of the SMPPCenter application, measured monthly. It excludes scheduled maintenance notified at least 48 hours in advance, unavailability attributable to the underlying hosting provider, outages or throttling by any upstream carrier or vendor, failures of your own infrastructure, network, or credentials, and events outside our reasonable control. Where we provide hosting, the infrastructure service level is the hosting provider's own published SLA, named in your order form and passed through without enlargement.
A perpetual licence grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the version delivered at purchase, in object code form only. No source code rights are granted. The annual upgrade charge (AUC) is mandatory for the first three years and covers version upgrades, feature releases, and security patches. Should AUC lapse thereafter, you retain the right to run the version you own but receive no further upgrades, releases, or security patches, and you would be asked to acknowledge in writing that continued use without security patches is at your own risk. Reinstating AUC is charged in respect of each lapsed year.
On a subscription plan we provide and maintain the server infrastructure. On a perpetual licence you provide and maintain it. Where a plan states a number of servers, that refers to servers across which a single deployment of the software is horizontally scaled. It is not a licence to run multiple independent deployments.
Day-to-day support is ticket-based on every plan. Scale and Enterprise include 24/7 support. On every plan, including the entry tier, an emergency telephone line is available where the service is down, and we will restore it regardless of your support tier.
Prices and inclusions on these pages may change. Where a change affects an active subscription, we will give you at least thirty days' written notice before it takes effect, and your current pricing holds until your next renewal date. Newer products, including AI and voice, are at an early stage of pricing and are the most likely to be revised as usage patterns become clear.
Every plan includes the scrubbing and validation engine. The underlying NCPR, DND, and DLT data is supplied by you, obtained and maintained under your own registration with the relevant registry or operator, and loaded into the platform by you. SMPPCenter does not source, licence, or warrant the accuracy or currency of that data, and is not responsible for sends permitted or blocked as a result of data you have supplied. Real-time scrubbing against an external provider's API is supported as a chargeable addition. Responsibility for regulatory compliance of your traffic, and of your customers' traffic, remains yours.
WhatsApp conversation charges levied by Meta, RCS carrier charges, operator and vendor fees, and model inference billed by your own AI provider are separate from our platform fees and passed through. We will break them out separately in your quote.
This is a plain-language summary provided so you know what you are buying before you talk to us. It is not the contract. The binding terms are those in your signed agreement and order form.
