What does LoopMessage cost in 2026?

LoopMessage (checked August 8, 2026) offers dedicated senders: Sandbox $0, Light $59.99 (300 daily), Regular $99.99 (1,000 daily). Shared senders: Free for nonprofits, Regular $20/month.

Headline prices are public and every add-on listed. The catch: base plans aren't complete. The phone number, fallback channel, and right to start conversations are separate line items.

ItemPrice (August 2026)Notes

Init conversations add-on+$30/mo, $30 one-timeRequired to send the first message
WhatsApp add-on+$10/moDedicated senders

What does an outbound-capable line really cost?

Light plan with own number + SMS/RCS: $59.99+$15+$15+$30 = $119.99/month (2x base), plus ~$60 one-time fees. Regular $159.99/month. Numbers all listed, but base and usable prices differ.

Daily-contact caps: Light 300, Regular 1,000 (everyone messaged that day). Shared tier sells additional capacity in 50-contact blocks for $50.

  • Light, outbound-capable: $59.99 + $15 number + $15 fallback + $30 init = $119.99/mo
  • Regular, outbound-capable: $99.99 + $15 + $15 + $30 = $159.99/mo
  • One-time fees on those add-ons: $15 + $15 + $30 = $60 at setup
  • Sender name display: $15 one-time

LoopMessage outbound-capable line cost

Light base$59.99/mo
Light outbound-capable$119.99/mo
Regular base$99.99/mo
Regular outbound-capable$159.99/mo
Base plans don't include everything needed for outbound. A fully capable line needs a phone number, fallback channel, and conversation-start permissions, nearly doubling the cost.

Can you run cold outreach on LoopMessage?

No. LoopMessage's FAQ prohibits outbound-only messaging; such messages get flagged as junk and damage reputation. First messages require Init add-on, warm-up period, and recent opt-in or consent.

Key fact: LoopMessage prohibits cold prospecting. Built for consent-based flows: notifications, confirmations. If you do cold outreach, this is the wrong product, and they tell you upfront.

LoopMessage's structure and what it enables

LoopMessage's per-contact-per-day model suits opt-in traffic: confirmations, updates, support. Add-ons are transparent, but real price exceeds headline. A la carte: WhatsApp $10/mo, wire transfer option.

Policy constraint is the hard boundary: LoopMessage prohibits cold outreach. B2B sales prospecting is not an option at any price, regardless of API elegance or sandbox cost.

Comparing pricing and use-case fit

LoopMessage Light: $119.99/mo vs Blue Reacher $249/mo ($162.50 annual). Prohibits cold outreach; limits B2B. Meters daily contacts vs unlimited at 50 opted-in, 30 cold per line.

LoopMessage: notifications/consent flows. Blue Reacher: $199/mo or $1,949/year (~$162.50/mo). Unlimited iMessages, no A2P, white-glove setup. Lines pace 50 opted-in / 30 cold daily; replies never metered.
