FAQ

Questions before you move

Messaro publishes one US SMS rate of $0.0108 with carrier fees included. Klaviyo says its rate varies by mobile plan, region and number type and is shown inside the account. Using a Klaviyo rate of $0.008, its SMS unit price is lower. Messaro is still much cheaper for the combined platform and SMS bill at 30,000 contacts because the platform itself is $19 instead of $500.
