Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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.
Woopra
- The entry Pro plan starts at $999 per month, and no lower or free tier is published
- Single Sign-On requires the Enterprise plan
- Data warehouse sync, data governance, organisation-level B2B tracking and the AI prediction features are Enterprise only

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Woopra starts at $999/month for the Pro plan, with the first month free during the 30-day trial. Billing starts in the second month and recurs every 30 days.
SourcePostscript: What is the real cost per text?
The plan rate plus carrier fees. On Starter that is about $0.015 plus roughly $0.00418 in US carrier fees per SMS, so budget close to two cents a message before discounts.

Overage fees apply if you surpass the limit of your plan, though data collection continues.
SourcePostscript: Is the Starter plan free?
No. The base fee is $0 but there is a $49 minimum monthly spend, so it functions as a $49 floor.
