Bird

messagebird, rebranded and harder to price

reported ~$0.005 per session and per template message#existing-messagebird-cus

a twilio-shaped markup without twilio's developer experience, behind pricing that got harder to find after the rebrand.

messagebird became bird in february 2024 and repositioned as an ai-native crm. the underlying messaging infrastructure is still capable.

the pricing is the issue. we could not find a cleanly published whatsapp rate card; reported figures put the markup at roughly $0.005 on both session and template messages, which is twilio territory. that needs confirming directly with bird before you budget on it.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

our verdict

a twilio-shaped markup without twilio's developer experience, behind pricing that got harder to find after the rebrand.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
