Which one is cheaper?: One or both use custom pricing, so it depends on your specific needs.
Can I use either one for free?: Courier has a free plan. Telnyx doesn't — you'll need to pay from day one.
How do they charge?: Both use a usage-based model, so the comparison is straightforward — it comes down to features and limits at each price point.
Which one is a better deal?: Depends on what you need. Telnyx: Telnyx positions as the developer-friendly, cost-efficient alternative to Twilio — they're explicitly going after teams that are tired of Twilio's margins. Not the cheapest carrier in the world, but competitively priced for the feature set and network quality they're offering. Courier: Half a cent per send is a low-friction entry point designed to undercut the complexity of competitors like Twilio or Iterable that layer on channel costs and seat fees. They're going after dev-led teams who want predictable, simple pricing without a sales call.
