Postscript Pricing Explained

Postscript pricing is built around ecommerce SMS marketing, so message volume and carrier costs matter more than email contact tiers.

Updated Oct 8, 2026·1 checked source·Independent guide
Quick answer

Postscript's official pricing page covers ecommerce SMS and RCS marketing, not traditional email marketing. The page positions Postscript around Shopify SMS subscriber growth, campaigns, automations, two-way conversations, attribution, and compliance. Postscript offers four plans: Starter at $0/mo with a $49 monthly minimum spend, Growth at $100/mo, Professional at $500/mo, and Enterprise with custom pricing. Each paid tier lowers the per-message rate: Starter is $0.009/SMS and $0.045/MMS, Growth is $0.008/SMS and $0.03/MMS, and Professional is $0.007/SMS and $0.024/MMS, all plus carrier fees passed through at cost. Buyers should model the monthly platform fee, SMS and MMS volume, carrier fees, subscriber growth, and whether SMS complements an email platform.

Costs beyond the headline price

  • Starter lists a $0 platform fee but requires a $49 monthly minimum spend.
  • Every SMS and MMS adds a per-message rate plus carrier fees passed through at cost, with average US carrier fees listed as $0.00330 per SMS and $0.00799 per MMS.
  • Long SMS messages split into segments and each segment is billed at the per-SMS rate, while MMS allows up to 1,600 characters per message.
  • A dedicated toll-free number is included and verified for free, while a dedicated short code costs $750 per month passed through from carriers.
  • The Postscript AI Plan at $699 per month and Postscript Plus managed services are separate add-ons.
  • Postscript states there are no profile fees, no prepaid balances, no expiring credits, no overages, and no auto-upgrades, with monthly billing and no contract required.

Postscript pricing is SMS-first

Postscript pricing should be evaluated by SMS subscriber growth, campaigns, automations, message volume, and carrier cost assumptions.

The expensive part of SMS is rarely the plan name. It is message volume, MMS use, carrier fees, compliance, and how often the store sends promotional campaigns or triggered flows. Postscript can be a revenue channel for ecommerce teams, but it should not be treated as a replacement for email lifecycle software unless SMS is genuinely the center of the retention strategy.

For ecommerce SMS comparisons, start with Postscript alternatives. For SaaS teams, Sequenzy vs Postscript makes the category difference clearer: customer lifecycle email versus Shopify SMS revenue.
