Smart Bundles
Discounted 24-hour credit bundles for small volume senders.
Last updated · Markdown version
Smart Bundles are low-entry, discounted credit bundles that stay valid for 24 hours from purchase. They let you start sending with as little as KSh 100 without committing to a large, non-expiring credit load.
Bundle rates:
| Amount (KSh) | Price per SMS (KSh) | SMS included |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 0.80 | 125 |
| 300 | 0.70 | 429 |
| 500 | 0.60 | 833 |
| 1,000 | 0.50 | 2,000 |
| 2,000 | 0.40 | 5,000 |
How bundle credits behave
Smart Bundle credits are kept separate from your standard wallet so the expiry rule can never affect regular balances:
- Separate tracking: Bundle credits are tracked apart from standard, non-expiring credits. Your regular balance and volume rate tier are unchanged.
- Consumed first: When you send SMS, bundle credits are deducted before standard credits.
- Expiry enforcement: Unused bundle credits expire at the 24-hour deadline and cannot be recovered.
- Distinct purchase: Smart Bundles appear as their own option in the dashboard, separate from standard credit top-ups.
Plan sends within the 24-hour window. If a bundle is not fully consumed before the deadline, the remaining units expire when the timer ends.
When to use a Smart Bundle
- First campaigns and pilots where you want the lowest possible entry price.
- Short, time-boxed broadcasts such as flash offers, event reminders, and same-day alerts.
- Testing message content or a new sender ID before loading standard credits.
For steady, high-volume traffic, standard credit top-ups remain the better fit: they never expire and unlock lower per-SMS rates as your load tier grows.
