Shortcode Cost

Earn the full revenue share from shortcode SMS messaging *

Clickatell pays you the entire revenue share. Revenue share from the operator/carrier depends on the operator's model.

A minimum of 500 inbound (MO) messages per shortcode or keyword, per month will be required before Clickatell will be obligated to pass on premium SMS revenue to you. This will be effective after 90 days. If less than the above number of messages are received the revenue for that month will be forfeit to Clickatell. Prolonged periods of volumes below the indicated thresholds or no activity may result in re-allocation of your shortcode (if owned by Clickatell) or keyword. Revenues will be paid to you after 90 days depending on when the operator pays Clickatell.

We only charge you a small fee (1/3 of credit) for each inbound message that you receive. In addition a once-off setup fee and a fixed monthly rental fee are also charged. These charges depend on the country and number type you choose.
