## Related questions

### What does per-seat texting pricing mean?

You pay a monthly fee for each user (agent) who needs access, usually with a minimum seat count. It fits team shared-inbox texting where multiple people work the same line, rather than one-to-many broadcasts.

### Do per-seat plans still charge for messages?

Often yes — the seat fee buys access, and outbound SMS/MMS is metered per segment on top. We record the per-segment add-on per vendor where stated; the cheapest seat here is Quo (formerly OpenPhone) at $19/user/mo.

### Is per-seat cheaper than a bundled-credit plan?

For a small team sending modest volume, per-seat can be cheaper and simpler; for high-volume broadcasting, a bundled-credit base is usually cheaper per message. Compare at your real seat count and send volume.
