  Messente uses a transparent pay-as-you-go pricing model with no monthly
  minimum, no setup fee, and no subscription. Messaging is priced per message
  and varies by destination country and network (MCC/MNC) and by channel (SMS,
  Viber, WhatsApp). WhatsApp additionally follows Meta's per-conversation
  category pricing. Number lookup (HLR) and number verification (2FA) are priced
  per lookup / per verification. Prepaid account credit is drawn down as usage
  occurs, and the live pricelist is available programmatically via the Pricing
  API. Volume and enterprise pricing is negotiated with Messente sales.
notes: >-
  Per-country and per-network rates are not fixed and are best pulled live from
  the Pricing API (GET /pricelist and GET /prices) or the Messente dashboard;
  verify current rates on the Messente pricing page during reconciliation.
