How much does an iMessage API cost?
Published iMessage API pricing runs $25 to $289 a month per line as of 13 Sep 2026: Photon from $25 with lines at $250, Blooio from $39 shared to $289 dedicated, LoopMessage $59.99 to $99.99 plus add-ons, and Sendblue at $100 inbound-first with outbound quoted through sales. Flat per-line billing is the norm; nobody credible meters per message.
The number that separates the quotes is outbound access: Blooio ($289), Photon ($250 a line), and Sendara ($249 with native CRM apps) publish it, while Sendblue gates outbound behind custom Enterprise pricing and Linq Blue has no listed price. Every figure with its date is in the competitor pricing breakdowns.
Budget the build alongside the subscription: an API is a toolkit, so sequencing, pacing discipline, and reply handling are engineering work on your side. The full developer landscape, endpoints to webhooks, is on the iMessage API guide.
Blue Reacher sits in the same price band with the operation included: $249 per line per month with a REST API, webhooks, and an MCP server, plus white-glove setup and campaigns built with you, so API access and the managed service are one subscription rather than two decisions.
