  • Each has a real cost: Adverity no published pricing and no tiers; every quote is bespoke, which the vendor states plainly; Postscript carrier pass-through fees are billed on top of the per-message rate, roughly $0.00418 per SMS and $0.00841 per MMS in the United States, and are routinely missing from the cost comparisons buyers build.
  • They diverge on capability: Adverity covers Data aggregation, Postscript covers Shopify segmentation.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Adverity

  • No published pricing and no tiers; every quote is bespoke, which the vendor states plainly
  • An ETL and data layer rather than a reporting tool, so it needs a BI destination alongside it

Postscript

  • Carrier pass-through fees are billed on top of the per-message rate, roughly $0.00418 per SMS and $0.00841 per MMS in the United States, and are routinely missing from the cost comparisons buyers build.
  • The cheapest per-message rates require the $500 a month plan, so a small sender pays more than double the headline low rate per text.
  • The $0 Starter plan carries a $49 minimum monthly spend, so it is not a free tier and quiet months still generate a bill.
  • US SMS marketing carries real legal exposure under consent, quiet hours and carrier registration rules, and the compliance obligation sits with the merchant, not the platform.
  • It is SMS and MMS only, so email, push and on-site messaging live in a separate tool and audience suppression between the two has to be managed across systems.
