How does everyone here bill for SMS usage within their app?
How does everyone here bill for SMS usage within their app? My CRM allows you to pay for SMS credits upfront but I'm not sure exactly how to set up the Stripe product to allow for that / bill for variable regions (ie. Twilio bills SMS costs differently depending on the country).
I built a website monitoring platform, and we also offer SMS notifications. I thought a lot about the solution for this.
I ended up allowing people to add their own SMS providers in our platform. Because some people would use it, some wouldnt, and its impossible to know how much it would be used for those that did use it.
But i guess it depends a lot on the application. In ours it made sense to me doing it this way.
