Trackly SMS offers two plans: a Free tier for getting started and a Paid tier for production sending at scale.

Plans

Free Plan

The Free plan lets you try Trackly with your own phone number at no cost: The free tier message counter resets on the first of each month. The Paid plan unlocks platform-provisioned numbers and unlimited messaging: To upgrade, go to Settings > Billing and click Upgrade to Paid.

How Billing Works

Segments

SMS messages are billed by segment:
  • 1 segment = up to 160 characters (standard)
  • 1 segment = up to 70 characters (Unicode/emoji)
  • Longer messages = multiple segments

Pricing (Paid Plan)

The annual cycle is 360 days. Provider pass-through costs are billed separately. BYOC segments bill separately at 0.0045forthefirst1Mand0.0045 for the first 1M and 0.0030 after that — BYOC volume does not count toward the tiers above.

Auto-Charge Thresholds

Billing runs automatically when you reach usage thresholds that scale with your volume: Monthly billing also runs for platform fees, any remaining usage balance, and counter resets.

Billing Safety

  • Minimum charge: $0.50 (Stripe minimum)
  • Send-time check: Before each send, we verify your account is in good billing standing. If an error on our side prevents that check, the send is blocked with “Billing check temporarily unavailable” rather than allowed through
  • Platform fee waiver: When you reach 1M segments in a calendar month, the $19.99 platform fee is automatically credited back via a Stripe customer balance credit

Viewing Usage

  1. Go to Settings > Billing
  2. See current usage:
    • Current Period — your tier and per-segment rate, plus segments sent This Month and this Annual Cycle (billing is per segment, not per message)
    • Balance — the amount accrued since your last charge
    • On Free plans, a Messages this month counter against your monthly limit

Subscription Management

Upgrading to Paid

  1. Go to Settings > Billing
  2. Click Upgrade to Paid
  3. Complete checkout via Stripe
  4. Your plan updates immediately

Cancelling Your Subscription

  1. Go to Settings > Billing
  2. Click Cancel Subscription
  3. Your paid plan remains active until the end of the current billing period
  4. After the period ends, your account downgrades to the Free plan
After downgrading, you will no longer be able to submit new number provisioning requests. Existing lists remain but are subject to the 500 message/month limit.

Payment Methods

Adding a Card

  1. Go to Settings > Billing
  2. Click Add Payment Method
  3. Enter card details
  4. Save
Powered by Stripe for secure payments.

Updating Your Payment Method

Click Update payment method (or Add payment method) on the billing page. A Trackly drawer opens a secure Stripe form where you can save a new card (or, by arrangement with Trackly, a US bank account) without leaving the app. The new method becomes the default; the previous one stays saved as a backup. To download invoices or change billing details, use the Manage in Stripe link under your payment method. If you pay by bank account, keep a card on file: it is charged as the backup when a bank debit fails or is returned.

Failed Payments

If payment fails:
  1. You’ll receive an email notification
  2. A Discord alert (if configured)
  3. Update your payment method
  4. Retry will happen automatically
Continued payment failures may result in service interruption.

Troubleshooting

Check:
  • Are there duplicate sends?
  • Are messages longer than expected (multi-segment)?
  • Is there bot activity inflating numbers?
  • Verify card details are current
  • Check card has sufficient funds
  • Ensure card allows online purchases
  • Try a different payment method
