    "description": "Postscript is an SMS marketing platform purpose-built for Shopify e-commerce. Pricing combines a monthly platform fee with per-message SMS and MMS rates that decline as you move up tiers. Starter has a $0 platform fee but a $49 minimum monthly spend, with SMS at $0.009 to $0.015 per message and MMS at $0.045 plus carrier fees. Growth at $100/month brings rates down to $0.008 to $0.010 per SMS and $0.03 per MMS. Professional at $500/month flattens SMS to $0.007 with MMS at $0.024, and unlocks API access, enhanced analytics, and removes Postscript branding. Enterprise is custom-quoted and adds an onboarding specialist, AI product recommendations, and data warehouse integration. Real spend is platform fee plus message volume, so total cost depends on list size and send frequency.",
