How many text credits do I need to buy?

You’ll only need to purchase SMS credits if you use features in WriteUpp that send text messages. These include:


  • SMS appointment communications (e.g. confirmations, reminders)
  • Text verification in Online Booking (optional extra layer of client identity security)
  • Text messages to clients
  • Text messages to colleagues
  • Direct Messaging
  • Smart Forms


How SMS Credits Work


  • 1 SMS credit = approx. 160 characters. Most texts will use one credit, but longer messages may use more.


  • Credits are sold in bundles - pricing can be found here.


  • No expiry - credits stay on your account until used.


  • Top up anytime based on your usage needs.


There’s no set amount of credits you’ll need, it depends entirely on how often you use SMS-based features.
