Pricing
How much does the LoopMessage iMessage API cost?
LoopMessage publishes a free sandbox capped at five contacts, a shared sender from $20 a month, and dedicated senders from $59.99 (Light) and $99.99 (Regular). The $20 tier is the cheapest published way to get a working customer-facing iMessage number.
Published tiers
| Tier | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Sandbox | $0 | API testing, capped at 5 contacts |
| Shared sender | $20/month, from | A pooled number — cheapest real entry |
| Light | $59.99/month, from | A dedicated sender, lower volume |
| Regular | $99.99/month, from | Dedicated, higher volume |
What "from" is doing in those rows
These are volume-tiered, so the quoted figure is a floor rather than a flat rate. Work out your actual monthly volume before comparing against a flat per-line competitor, or you will compare the wrong numbers.
Where the $20 tier is right and wrong
- Right for transactional sends — confirmations, codes, status updates nobody needs to reply to weeks later.
- Right for testing whether this channel works for your business at all, before committing to a line.
- Wrong if you want customers to save you as a contact, because a shared number is not durably yours.
- Wrong if the number represents your brand on printed material.
