Understanding SMS credits

One Cobbtree SMS credit is one billable SMS segment, not always one visible text.

Last updated 13 September 2026

Cobbtree counts SMS in segments. A short GSM message is usually 1 credit. Longer messages, or messages that include emoji, can use more than one credit.

The template editor shows characters, encoding and estimated credits before you publish.
