Budget for pay-as-you-go customer messaging
Estimate successful deliveries per send, then multiply by the useful sends you expect. Keep both channels and changing topic audiences in the calculation, and compare that credit need with the current prepaid packs.
Budget from deliveries rather than list size alone
KeepMPosted email and Telegram each use one credit per successfully delivered recipient. A single announcement to 180 email subscriptions and 40 Telegram subscriptions has an estimated 220-credit audience, even if some belong to the same people. Topic overlaps within a channel do not create extra copies.
For a sample plan, four such sends would estimate 880 credits before audience changes. This is arithmetic, not a forecast for your business. Check the composer preview each time; opt-outs, topic choices, and enabled channels can change the actual audience.
Before you send
- Estimate matched recipients by selected channel, not just total subscribers.
- Count useful planned announcements and any likely correction or follow-up needs.
- Compare the resulting credit need with current pack pricing.
- Review actual use after several sends before buying a larger pack.

Choose pack size after seeing real use
The service has no monthly subscription, and purchased credits do not expire. That supports occasional operational messaging, but it is still sensible to size a purchase around your likely use and current balance.
Use the current pricing page for pack prices rather than keeping a copied currency table in a planning document. Buying more credits does not create scheduled sending or automatic reminders.
Common questions
Is this a guaranteed monthly cost?
No. It is a planning estimate. Audience, channels, send count, and successful deliveries determine use; check each preview.
Should I buy the biggest pack immediately?
Compare the current pack rates with your expected use and budget. A larger discount is useful only when the purchase fits your business.
Put this into practice
Review prepaid pricing and the composer preview to plan practical announcement costs without committing to a monthly subscription.
