Pricing detail
TwoLine uses a credits system: $4.99 buys 5 credits. A US monthly rental costs ~7 credits ($6.99). Credits don't expire. Pay via Stripe (international cards OK) or NOWPayments crypto (USDT primary, BTC, ETH). Cancel anytime; remaining credits stay in your wallet for the next rental.
For full pricing across US, UK, NL plus credit packs and bulk discounts, see /pricing.
If a US monthly isn't your fit
- Just one SMS code: VerifySMS at $0.42 (Stripe, 15-min auto-refund). Disclosure: I'm part of the team building VerifySMS too — same disclosure pattern as TwoLine. Use this if you'll never receive future SMS on the number.
- 5+ years US/Canada use: Hushed lifetime at $99 with 90-day inactivity reset. Cheaper over a 5-year horizon if you'll send at least one SMS per quarter.
- Need a UK or NL number too: Same TwoLine account also rents UK ($9.99/mo) and NL ($11.99/mo).
- Business with auto-attendant + team forwarding: Grasshopper Solo at $14/mo is the right product class.
