Subscription Plans + Billing

Privy offers the following subscription plans to address the unique needs for your business:
The Email + SMS Plan allows users full access to Privy’s Displays, Email, and SMS products which enables businesses to grow their list and engage with their audience.
The Displays Plan allows users access to Privy’s Displays tool, which enables businesses to grow their subscriber list, make on-site announcements, and increase sales.
Note: The above plans reflect Privy’s updated subscription model as of July 8, 2025. If you activated a subscription plan before July 8, 2025, please reference this page for more information on your plan.
Privy maintains a pricing page here. By using the Privy service, you agree to pay Privy the amount set forth on the pricing page for the particular Privy service to which you are subscribing. Privy will provide you with fourteen (14) days advance notice of any pricing changes via email, and your continued use of the Privy service following such notice period will constitute your acceptance of these changes.

What happens after my trial ends? You will be unable to use Privy after your 15-day trial ends, unless you upgrade to a paid plan. Any existing displays will be deactivated and not shown to website visitors. Any active Flows will stop and no longer trigger.

Email + SMS Plan

The Email + SMS subscription plan is based on the number of mailable contacts + the number of SMS credits you’re subscribed to. This plan includes unlimited email sends, as well as 250 free SMS credits each month, which do not roll over. Email Pricing Privy Email pricing is based on the number of mailable contacts in your account. The first tier starts at $30 for up to 1,500 contacts. Once you exceed 1,500 contacts, the pricing scales as follows:
  • 1,501 - 2,000 mailable contacts: scales $15 for every 500 contacts
  • 2,001 - 25,000 mailable contacts: scales $15 for every 1,000 contacts
  • 25,001 - 100,000 mailable contacts: scales $30 for every 5,000 contacts
  • 100,001+ mailable contacts: scales $60 for every 10,000 contacts
SMS Add-on Pricing In addition to emails, you can purchase a monthly SMS credit subscription. Your SMS credit subscription will auto-renew each month so that you always have enough to send to your audience. Credit cost will be dependent on the recipient’s location (US or CA), the length of the SMS message (# of characters), and whether or not the message is MMS (includes images).
We offer a tool on our website to help determine how many credits would be sufficient for your business based on how many contacts you have, where they’re located, how often you send, and what types of messages you plan on sending.You can also visit the Explore Plans page in your dashboard and click How many do I need? in the SMS card, as shown below.Screenshot of Privy Explore Plans Page in the dashboard
Any unused credits will roll over to the next billing cycle, but expire 60 days after purchase.
Without sufficient SMS credits:
  • You will not be able to send SMS or MMS campaigns.
  • Any SMS or MMS messages in automated Flows will not send. You can buy an on-demand SMS credit top-up from your Plans & Billing page on any tier — including the included 250 credits/month — or upgrade your SMS subscription for a larger monthly allotment.
Yes, SMS credits will expire 60 days after purchase.

​

The Displays Plan uses a tiered pricing model based on the average pageviews per month that your website receives. The base plan is $24/month and includes up to 10,000 pageviews. This plan does not include access to Privy’s email or text message features.

If your list exceeds the contact limit for your plan’s tier, you’ll be prorated at the new tier for the remainder of your current billing cycle.Conversely, if the account drops below a previous contact limit, you’ll automatically be moved to a lower tier.

Refund Policy

The billing team reviews all refund requests on a case-by-case basis. A transaction is refund-eligible for ten (10) days, with the review period starting on the initial charge date. Please note that exceptions to this policy are made on a case-by-case basis. If you believe your situation warrants special consideration, please contact our customer support team, and we will do our best to assist you. Specific instances where a refund is not required or will not be issued include:
If you decide to switch plans mid-cycle, a refund is not required. Should you need to change plans midcycle, simply reach out to us at billing@privy.com, and we will help ensure you are not double billed.
Privy is not automatically canceled if the account isn’t being used or is uninstalled from your website/storefront, the store is closed, or there is any instance where the account is not going to be used for a period of time. If Privy no longer meets your business needs, or you are not planning to use Privy for some time, please cancel the desired individual plan or close the account entirely to avoid additional charges. Failure to close your account or account properly or lack of usage will not result in a refund.
Annual billing provides customers with a discount by requiring an upfront payment. Due to the nature of this discount, Privy cannot extend refunds to subscriptions on annual billing. Any annual plan cannot be canceled or closed until the next annual renewal date.
Privy does not offer refunds on plans that are receiving a promotional discount. Additionally, the discounted rate only applies to the plan that is currently active. If the plan is upgraded to a more expensive plan, the promotion will no longer apply.
Privy has designed the upgrade path to include several steps, where a plan’s pricing is clearly listed and where multiple actions must be taken to confirm the purchase decision. With this in mind, Privy does not offer a refund for a plan that was upgraded by following these steps. Please cancel the desired individual subscription or close the account entirely to avoid additional charges.
If you engage in any of the activities listed in the Acceptable Use Policy, Privy reserves the right to terminate your access to or use of the Privy service, disable your Privy account or access to the Privy Service, and remove all or a portion of your content, in each case at any time, with or without notice and without refund.
