Where these facts come from

Each alternatives page links every source it uses. These are the pricing pages behind the starting prices above.

On Postocial, message only people who opted in or wrote to you first, and stop when they ask. Broadcasts go to contacts who opted in and skip anyone who opted out, and on Messenger and Instagram they reach only people who messaged you in the last 24 hours. Meta bills WhatsApp messages to your WhatsApp Business account, and SMS goes through your own Twilio, Plivo or SMS gateway account.
