How AMB pricing works

Apple Messages for Business is custom-quoted based on your monthly message volume, deployment complexity (single agent versus multi-brand) and feature scope. AMB use cases range widely — from high-throughput customer support to premium concierge flows with Apple Pay checkout and live agent handoff — so we build a quote for every deployment rather than publishing a single rate. Higher-volume commitments earn deeper per-message discounts.
No US mobile carrier surcharges apply. All AMB messages are delivered through Apple’s network, so unlike SMS and RCS there is no carrier passthrough component at all.

How AMB meters

  • Per message, in both directions — sent and received.
  • No segment counting. Every message is a single unit regardless of length, which makes AMB unusually predictable compared to SMS.
Advanced plans include 5,000 messages a month; Enterprise is custom volume. See Plans.

AMB agent fees

Apple Messages for Business has no agent fees: no setup fee and no monthly fee per agent, on any plan and on any billing cycle. Tied covers Apple business registration, identity verification, brand approval and infrastructure monitoring for every agent. An agent represents a single verified Apple business sender, typically one per brand. Multi-brand operations can provision multiple agents at no extra agent cost. You pay only the per-message channel fees described on this page.
