Chert Pricing: The Model Is Public, the Numbers Are Not
The short answer
Chert publishes no prices as of 20 Sep 2026. What trychert.com does publish is the model: billing per message sent rather than per line, volume capped per sending identity per day, and a 20-minute kickoff call as the only path to a quote. That combination makes a Chert bill scale with every follow-up, and makes the kickoff call the only place to learn what yours would be.
Key takeaways
- Three facts sit on their site; every number is missing.
- Chert's 20-minute kickoff is a real product decision, not a stall, and it can work in your favor if you arrive with the right list.
- A Blue Reacher line is $249 a month flat, $199 at 4+ lines, or $1,949 a year with activation waived, at $0 per message forever.
What Chert publishes about its pricing
Three facts sit on their site; every number is missing. The model is per message sent. Volume is capped per sending identity per day, with identities rotated and warmed by their infrastructure.
- And there is no signup, no rate card and no calculator: Book a Call is the site's one CTA.
- Per-message billing prices persistence: the fourth follow-up costs what the first did, so a disciplined sequence gets more expensive as it gets more thorough.
What to get in writing on the kickoff call
Chert's 20-minute kickoff is a real product decision, not a stall, and it can work in your favor if you arrive with the right list.
- The per-message rate at your volume, and where the volume breaks sit
- The daily cap per sending identity, and how many identities your account gets
- Whether one consistent number can carry your threads, given their identity rotation
- What a full sequence, first touch plus follow-ups, costs per hundred leads
- SMS fallback billing for non-Apple contacts
- What implementation help exists, and what it costs
The reference point while you wait for the quote
A Blue Reacher line is $249 a month flat, $199 at 4+ lines, or $1,949 a year with activation waived, at $0 per message forever. One dedicated number, campaigns built at onboarding, pacing managed.
- Against per-message billing, flat pricing wins exactly when your follow-up is disciplined: the more thorough the sequence, the wider the gap. The full comparison is on the Blue Reacher vs Chert page.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Chert cost in 2026?
Chert publishes no numbers as of 20 Sep 2026. The model on trychert.com is per-message billing with volume capped per sending identity per day, and pricing arrives through a 20-minute kickoff call. Ask for the rate at your volume in writing, and price a full sequence, not a single send.
Why does per-message pricing matter for outbound?
Because outbound revenue lives in follow-ups, and per-message billing charges for each one. A five-touch sequence costs five times a one-touch blast, so the bill grows exactly when the motion is done right. Flat per-line pricing, $249 a month on Blue Reacher, makes the fourth follow-up free.
Does Chert have a free trial or self-serve signup?
No. trychert.com has no signup path and no published trial; the kickoff call is the single entry point. That fits its buyer, B2C product teams integrating an API with engineering support, and it means a sales team cannot test the channel there without a sales process first.
How does Chert pricing compare to Blue Reacher?
Structurally, not numerically, since Chert publishes no numbers: per-message and quoted after a call against flat per-line and printed on the page. Blue Reacher is $249 a line a month with $0 per message, campaigns included, so the comparison becomes concrete the moment Chert's quote arrives. Bring it to the demo.
Flat beats metered when the follow-up is real
