One balance, every app and country. The exact price is shown before you confirm, and nothing is charged if the code never arrives.

## How much does a temporary number cost on SMS Nitro?

Per-code prices start at $0.05 and depend on the app and the country; popular combinations such as WhatsApp on a physical-SIM number cost more than a sign-up in one of the cheapest countries. Rentals start at about a dollar per day. The minimum top-up is $5, card top-ups carry a 10% processing fee and crypto top-ups carry none.

## What you pay for

- A one-time number is billed once, when the SMS arrives. Extra SMS on the same active number are free.
- A rental is billed up front for the period (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days) with unlimited incoming SMS.
- No SMS within the reservation: the frozen amount returns to your balance automatically.

## Top-ups and fees

- Minimum top-up $5, maximum $1,000 per transaction.
- Card via Stripe: 10% processing fee added on top; the full top-up is credited.
- Crypto (USDC or SOL on Solana): no fee.
- Deposits of $10 or more earn bonus balance; the first deposit earns a welcome bonus.

## Volume and wholesale

Loyalty levels based on monthly top-ups unlock lower per-code prices, cashback and a dedicated manager. API users get the same prices as the dashboard; there is no API surcharge.
