Miss Blue

A dedicated line with inbox and API in one bill

The current $99 promotional rate covers a private number, API access and a shared team inbox. The savings case is clearest when you actually need that combination and understand which extras remain separate.

messages.dev

A low-friction test path with production pricing to confirm

Linq

A production quote for a wider messaging platform

Linq documents iMessage and other communication surfaces, but the API budget should come from a scoped production quote. A general Linq app subscription is a separate offering.
