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
  • Pro is capped at 50 user seats and 2 years of data retention
  • Dedicated support and onboarding are Enterprise only; Pro gets online support
  • Enterprise is custom priced with no published rate

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.
