Surge
The SMS API that actually cares about developers

Surge is an SMS API platform built for developers, offering fast carrier registration (within 72 hours), an intuitive API, and embeddable UI components. It simplifies adding text messaging to applications with features like no-code message blasts, link shortening, and registration templates. Pricing scales from a $5/month hobby tier to enterprise custom plans.
Developers integrate Surge's API or embeddable UI components into their app, and Surge handles carrier registration, message sending, link shortening, and usage tracking through a developer-friendly dashboard.
