In addition to the fees listed above resellers will also pay a $4 per account fee for every account he/she has set up. The big advantage of AvidMobile pricing structure is that they do not charge anything extra for keywords, every account comes with unlimited keywords.
As you can see, there are three main pricing features that AvidMobile focuses on: set-up fee, monthly fee, and messaging fee. Understanding how each of these will effect your long term profitability can help you determine if the AvidMobile SMS reseller program is the best option for your business. Be sure to chat with an AvidMobile rep for additional pricing on optional features as there may be an extra charge for features like MMS, a custom API, social media integration, etc.
Overall, AvidMobile has a very robust platform. The only real down side we see is that getting information about it is a real hassle and there is nothing really to show you how the platform works so that you will know how easy/difficult it is to manage and use.
