FAQ

Straight answers

If something here is product behaviour, it matches the dashboard and the API.

01Which product should my business start with?+

Developers usually start with the SMS API and TEST keys. Operators who send campaigns monthly often start with bulk SMS in the dashboard. Fintech and apps need OTP plus transactional alerts.

02Is there a monthly platform fee?+

Starter is prepaid per billed unit — GHS 0.04 for Ghana. Growth and Enterprise are commercial terms if you need volume tiers or extra sender IDs.

Yes. OTP, bulk, transactional, and API sends debit the same prepaid GHS wallet. Insufficient balance returns INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE — we do not queue unfunded traffic.
