# Courier pricing

Last updated: 2026-11-01. Human-readable page: https://www.courier.com/pricing. Full billing details: https://www.courier.com/docs/workspaces/billing

Courier bills per send. There are no per-seat or per-channel fees. Delivery providers you connect (SendGrid, Twilio, FCM and so on) bill you separately at their own rates.

## Why product teams pay less on Courier
- **You pay for messages, not users.** There is no per-profile, per-monthly-active-user, or per-subscriber charge. Users you don't message cost nothing, so there is no list to prune to keep the bill down.
- **One message, one send.** A template that reaches someone by email, push, in-app, and Slack counts as one send.
- **Inbox included.** The in-app Inbox has no fee of its own.
- **No seats, no platform fee, no contract.** Team members are unlimited. Business is pay as you go with no minimum, and Enterprise adds volume pricing below $0.005 per send.
- **Start free.** The Developer plan is free and includes 10,000 sends a month, with Journeys, Broadcasts, the MCP server, the CLI, and the SDKs.

## What counts as a send
- One send is one template sent to one recipient.
- A multi-channel template counts as one send, even when it delivers email, SMS, push, Slack, and in-app Inbox messages.
- A send to a list of 100 users is 100 sends.
- Bounced, undeliverable, and preference-blocked messages count.
- Sends from Test and custom environments count.
- Courier Inbox (in-app) has no fee beyond the per-send price.
