What would a small live seller pay?
Illustrative example, not a customer result: assume 80 opted-in subscribers all month, 8 broadcasts to all of them on separate days, and 40 outgoing one-on-one inbox replies. Each delivered text, including any link and required footer, fits in one SMS segment. There is no other sending or plan change in this example.
- 80 subscribers fit within Starter's 100-subscriber allowance.
- 8 × 80 = 640 recipient messages, using 8 of 15 monthly broadcasts.
- 40 one-segment replies use 40 of 250 monthly inbox reply segments.
Subscription subtotal: $29/month (USD) on Starter, within these allowances.
This is the plan subtotal; check checkout for the final total and any applicable tax. With 120 active subscribers and the same sending pattern, choose Growth at $49/month for up to 200 subscribers. A midmonth plan change may have a different amount due; review the billing portal before confirming.
Pricing questions, answered
What counts as a subscriber?
A subscriber is an active, opted-in phone number on your SparkleText list. Opted-out subscribers do not count toward your active subscriber allowance. Choose a plan with room for your current list and expected new opt-ins.
Read the VIP text-list guide for a deliberate opt-in workflow before you estimate list growth.
What counts as a broadcast?
A broadcast is one announcement sent to your selected opted-in audience, such as a live reminder or restock notice. Sending it to 80 subscribers uses one broadcast, not 80. Every plan shown includes 15 broadcasts per month within its subscriber allowance. Message-length and sending safeguards also apply.
Plan a live-sale reminder, then read the broadcast setup guide before your first send.
What counts as an inbox reply?
An inbox reply is a one-on-one text you send back to a fan. Its outgoing SMS segments draw from your monthly reply pool, separately from broadcasts. Longer texts or emoji can use multiple segments, so 250 segments does not always mean 250 replies. Incoming fan messages do not use your outgoing reply pool.
What happens when I reach a limit?
Subscriber, broadcast and reply limits are separate. When the subscriber limit is enforced, new joins and returning opt-ins are blocked until there is room or your plan changes. When a sending limit is enforced, the affected send is blocked; these capped plans do not automatically bill per-message overages.
Check your plan and usage in the dashboard. Monthly broadcast and reply pools reset for the next calendar month (UTC). Compare a larger plan if you need more subscriber capacity or reply segments; all five plans include the same 15 monthly broadcasts.
Are keyword replies and list growth free?
Automated keyword replies have no separate SparkleText per-reply fee on these plans. Your plan still limits active subscribers and keyword count, and automated replies are subject to safeguards. Growing beyond your plan allowance can require a higher-priced plan. Fans' message and data rates may apply.
Learn how text-to-join works before you publish a keyword invitation.
SparkleText processes STOP opt-outs and HELP replies. Hosts remain responsible for campaign consent. See SMS opt-in and opt-out information.
How do I upgrade my plan?
Open Billing in your dashboard and review the available plan changes in the billing portal. Check the amount due and effective date before confirming. Do not assume a midmonth change costs the difference between the two monthly prices.
How do I cancel?
Manage cancellation through dashboard Billing. Review the cancellation effective date and confirmation in the portal so you know when your subscription ends. See the subscription terms for the applicable conditions.
Do these prices apply to my legacy prepaid account?
This page describes the current capped monthly plans. Accounts still on legacy prepaid billing have separate rules. Check your dashboard plan and read legacy billing guidance before comparing costs or changing plans.
