People bring Plivo in for products sending high volumes of transactional sms where unit price determines channel viability, teams migrating from a more expensive aggregator without changing their architecture, notification and alerting systems with predictable, steady message volume, businesses wanting voice and messaging from one supplier with published rates. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Plivo are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Plivo
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Plivo against the tools that do have one before committing.
Plivo runs on web, apis, python, javascript, java, php, ruby, go, and is published by Plivo of Austin, Texas, United States. The full record is on the Plivo review, and the rest of the category is under best telecommunications tools.
