Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 2 of the 77 other SMS and chat marketing tools we grade
Messente is a messaging provider that sends SMS, Viber and WhatsApp messages through one API, and also offers one-time-password verification and phone number lookup. It is used for notifications, authentication and marketing messages by companies across Europe. Prices depend on destination country, channel and volume.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Messente, taken from its own pages and our grades.
But no per-message prices are published, WhatsApp and Viber rates come from an account manager, and it isn't an inbox or chatbot builder.
- 1
Best for developers sending SMS, Viber and WhatsApp by API
Messente is an API for sending SMS, Viber and WhatsApp, with pay-as-you-go and no monthly fee.

Keep it
To replace Messente you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for developers sending SMS, Viber and WhatsApp by API
Messente is an API for sending SMS, Viber and WhatsApp, with pay-as-you-go and no monthly fee. But no per-message prices are published, WhatsApp and Viber rates come from an account manager, and it isn't an inbox or chatbot builder.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No plan prices are published. Pay-as-you-go has no monthly fee, but per-message rates depend on region and channel, and Number Lookup is €199 a month plus €0.002 a number. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing free. There's no monthly fee, but you pay for every message and no trial is listed. |
| Features | C | SMS, Viber and WhatsApp in one API, with authentication messages, number lookup and delivery controls. It does the sending job fully, but it's a smaller job: no inbox, no chatbot builder. |
| Ease of use | D | It's a messaging API, so someone has to write the code that calls it. No store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web account and API, with Zapier listed. It's a sending service for other software to call rather than something with its own apps. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Messente is for
- Fits if you have a developer and want one API for SMS, Viber and WhatsApp
- Works for login codes and alerts sent from your own app
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want a chatbot builder or shared inbox, as it has neither
- Watch out: WhatsApp and Viber rates are quoted by an account manager, not published
- Skip it if you can't write code, because the product is an API
- Pricey if you need Number Lookup, which carries a €199 monthly fee
Good to know
Good for
- Developers adding SMS, Viber or WhatsApp notifications to a product
- Fintech and logistics teams in Europe sending verification codes and alerts
Worth knowing
- No plan prices are published: the page offers pay-as-you-go with no monthly fee, or a committed-volume plan priced through sales.
- Per-message rates depend on the destination region and channel; WhatsApp and Viber rates are quoted by an account manager.
- Number Lookup is listed at a €199 monthly fee plus €0.002 per number.
- This is a messaging API and sending service, not an inbox or chatbot builder.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Messente's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
There's no monthly fee, but you pay for every message and no trial is listed.
We could not confirm Messente’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. messente.com has them.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
2/77
Other SMS and chat marketing tools it is graded above
Messente's GPA of 1.6 is higher than 2 of the 77 other SMS and chat marketing tools we grade, and level with 13.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 19 of 77) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Messente you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 62 of the 77 other SMS and chat marketing tools grade higher.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- Checking that an address exists without writing to it.
- It plugs into other products, Zapier among them, and has an API.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Messente’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
