What free covers
Transparent costs. $0 platform fee.
FreeMessaging.ai does not monetize campaigns through software markup on every text. You pay required third-party messaging and compliance costs — plus any disclosed AI usage.
Platform fee is $0. No additional managed-sending fee for the standard platform service. Carrier, number, registration, compliance charges, and any disclosed AI usage fee may apply.
