FAQ
Bandwidth rates higher on G2 (4.4 vs 4.4). Ratings are aggregated from public review platforms as of the date shown.
Bandwidth pricing is usage-based with no fixed platform fee. US 10DLC (local long code) SMS starts at roughly $0.004 per outbound message. Toll-free SMS is listed at $0.0065 per message on Bandwidth's toll-free product page and $0.007 per message on its general pricing page, so expect a rate in that range. On top of per-message rates, A2P 10DLC traffic incurs mandatory carrier registration and pass-through surcharge fees set by the mobile carriers.
Infobip offers official API client libraries for Python, PHP and C#/.NET under its main GitHub organization, plus a Node.js SDK maintained under its separate Infobip Community GitHub organization. Its APIs are standard REST, so any language with an HTTP client can integrate even without a dedicated SDK. Full SDK and documentation resources are available in Infobip's developer hub.
