Free SMS or paid SMS API?
Two distinct uses, not two versions of the same product.
This service is built for personal, one-off sending: one message, free, without an account. A professional SMS gateway charges for every message but brings what a free service cannot offer — high volumes, a custom sender name, delivery receipts and a contractual commitment.
Point-by-point comparison
| Criterion | Free SMS | Paid SMS API |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free, no sign-up | Priced per message, with an account to top up |
| Volume | One-off sending, one message at a time | Campaigns of several thousand messages |
| Sender shown | The gateway's shared number | A customisable sender name |
| Delivery receipts | Not provided | Per-message delivery status |
| Integration | A web form | An API to plug into your own tools |
In short: which should you pick?
Use this service for a personal, occasional message. As soon as sending becomes professional, repeated or aimed at several recipients, a paid gateway is the answer: only it provides the technical guarantees and the contractual framework that commercial use demands — use that remains subject to prior consent and to the mandatory STOP notice.
Frequently asked questions
Can I run a commercial campaign from this site?+
No. The service is reserved for personal, one-off sending; a commercial campaign belongs on a professional gateway.
Why pay for an API when free sending exists?+
Because it brings volume, a custom sender name, delivery receipts and a contractual commitment, none of which a free service can guarantee.
