Sailup charges ₵0.02 per SMS to every Ghanaian network — MTN, Telecel, and AirtelTigo. There are no monthly fees, no setup costs, and no contracts. You buy prepaid credits, spend them per message, and failed messages are never charged.
₵0.02/ message
Per outbound SMS delivered to any local network in Ghana, billed per 160-character segment.
₵0.005/ message
Per transactional or marketing email sent, once it launches. Email credits will be bought separately from SMS credits.
The rate is flat, so your bill is multiplication. No tiers to climb, no bundles to buy, no minimum spend before the price applies.

A low headline rate means nothing if the essentials cost extra. Here is every rule that decides what you are charged.
A standard SMS is one segment and costs one credit. A longer message costs one credit per segment, and the API returns the segment quantity on every send — so the charge is visible before it reaches your invoice.
If a message does not reach the handset, you do not pay for it. Providers that bill on submission rather than delivery quietly inflate your effective rate; Sailup does not.
Buy what you need and spend it when you need it. Automatic top-up repurchases credits when your balance falls below a threshold you set, so a campaign never stops halfway.
Credits sit at the account level and are consumed by whichever project sends. Staging, production, and side projects stay cleanly separated without separate wallets to reconcile.
Everything that decides what a message costs you.
