There is no public rate card. This is emissary.ai, the recruiting product, not another Emissary brand.
What we noted
Not the right fit for
Worth keeping in mind: Built as recruiting SMS with AI, not as a generic marketing texter.

Sales-quoted
Why it comes up: ATS-native recruiting SMS if you want SmartDraft and 10DLC tools.
Stands out: SmartDraft writes texts in your voice, and you can message from any webpage with a dedicated number.
Watch out: There is no public rate card. You still need an ATS to import candidates in one click.
Best for
$299/mo API
Why it comes up: Recruiting texting with a longer market presence.
Stands out: A real $299 floor for TA texting, with Bullhorn, Workday, Greenhouse, Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier named.
Watch out: Pro is $299/mo. WhatsApp is +$29/user (beta). Overage is $0.02/message.
Best for
$49/user/mo API
Why it comes up: Shared inboxes if sales and recruiting share one number.
Stands out: Published per-user prices, a shared inbox with phone numbers per user, and SMS, email, WhatsApp and RCS in one place.
Watch out: Messages cost extra through credit bundles (1,000 credits is $30/mo), 10DLC compliance adds $10/mo per campaign, and the API starts on Pro.
Best for
Quote-based API
Why it comes up: Talent CRM campaigns if SMS is one channel among many.
Stands out: SMS as the primary channel rather than an afterthought bolted onto email.
Watch out: No published price, and it is the wrong shape for executive or professional search.
