Pricing Model Comparison
Flat-Rate vs. Outcome-Based
Same program. Two ways to pay. Adjust the assumption below to compare against your current contract.
Equivalent flat-rate cost for this scenario $0
— sends × $— = $— + $1,000 platform fee + $500 short code leasing + $— CPT
Based on industry-standard tiered SMS pricing. Rate per message decreases at higher monthly volumes. Adjust the SMS sends slider to see how flat-rate cost changes with scale.

The trade-off: Flat-rate gives you predictable cost regardless of fundraising performance — you pay full price even in quiet months. Outcome-based lowers your day-one commit and only scales up when donations come in.
How this works
Pricing: Mobile Commons charges a monthly base fee plus a revenue share on net donations attributed to your SMS program. The rev share rate scales with performance — better conversion and bigger gifts means a smaller share goes to MC. Carrier pass-through (CPT) is billed at cost.
Attribution: Donations are credited via a 7-day click-to-conversion window. Monthly reconciliation against our donation platform's exports keeps the calculation auditable.
What's included: Dedicated Mobile Strategist, end-to-end campaign execution, copy and creative, A/B testing, performance reporting, short code leasing & hosting, donation platform fees, full attribution dashboard.
No long contracts. Mobile Commons offers month-to-month or annual terms.
