MustardSMS Plans & Pricing

One race in May and one in September should not cost the same as a year of software. Buy the event, use the messages, come back next season. Or run monthly if you have a full calendar.

One-time purchase covering the full event lifecycle, invite through follow-up.

    For the morning a reroute triples your inbound.

  • $15

    Five more full-list sends when the schedule keeps moving.

  • $10 /mo

    Staff seat

    One more person in the inbox. Add or remove any month.

Questions we actually get

What counts as a message?
One inbound text or one outbound reply, per recipient. A broadcast to 800 people uses 800. Your plan shows the remaining count live, and top-ups are instant.
Do I keep the number next year?
Yes. The number and the opt-in list stay with your account, so the audience you built at last year's race is already there when registration opens.
What happens when I run out mid-event?
Nothing breaks. You get an email at 75% and again at the limit, and a top-up takes two taps. The AI keeps answering while you buy.
Is WhatsApp extra?
No. SMS, WhatsApp and the webchat widget are on every plan including the free one. One inbox, one brief, one price.
Can the city pay by invoice or PO?
Yes, on Big Jug and per-event Elite. Purchase orders, W-9 and a certificate of insurance are all available without a sales call.
What if I need to switch tracks?
Switch between per-event and monthly whenever you want. Unused per-event messages stay with that event until its retention window closes.

Start on the free plan. Upgrade race week.

250 messages, no card, no call. Enough to run a small event end to end.
