The entire pricing model, on one page.

Four multipliers against a published base rate. No sales call, no "starting at", no fee that appears on the invoice. You can do the arithmetic yourself.

Quick answer

A no-KYC number from HushSMS costs base rate $5.90/month × country tier (S ×1.30, A ×1.00, B ×0.80) × line type (mobile ×1.00, landline ×0.70) × term (monthly ×1.00, 3-month ×0.88, 6-month ×0.80, 12-month ×0.68) × pool (standard ×1.00, never-recycled ×1.45, premium pattern ×1.75). No setup fee applies. Effective prices run from $2.25 to $13.42 per month.

FAQ

Pricing questions

Is there a setup fee?

No. There is no setup fee at any term, on any country, in any pool. Some competitors charge up to $10 on the first invoice, which on a short term can cost more than the line itself.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Terms do not auto-renew and there is no subscription to cancel — when a term ends, the line simply stops unless you renew it. Nothing is stored to bill against, so there is nothing that could charge you unexpectedly.

How much does a number cost?

From $2.25 per month on a twelve-month term, with no setup fee. Pricing is a published formula: base rate × country tier × line type × term × pool. The full arithmetic and a live calculator are on the pricing page.

Can I buy just one verification code?

Yes. One-shot codes start at $0.29 and the number is released the moment the code lands. Use them for accounts you will never touch again — but if the service can re-verify later (WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Apple), rent the line instead, or you will lose the account when it asks again.

Is a longer term cheaper?

Substantially. Twelve months carries a 0.68 multiplier against monthly — a 32% reduction on the effective monthly rate — because a line we do not have to reprovision every thirty days costs us less to run.
