Usage charges for packmates on the $10 a month plus usage plan
Twilio is the provider we use for texting services. They charge for each segment and/or image sent/received. PetExec will pass on these usage charges to the customer/packmate, so that each of our customers/packmates pay for what they use rather than an average cost. It is simply a pass through cost that will be added to your monthly subscription without any additional markup.
Table 1 shows the current rates for Twilio which can be used to estimate usage costs based on your business location and practices. Twilio controls rate changes, so they are subject to change.

How is the billing managed?
Unlimited Texting
The fee for the Unlimited plan will be billed monthly along with the PetExec subscription. This fee provides you with the features described above and covers the cost of the phone number purchased for messaging.
$10 a month plus usage (formerly Pet Snaps Messaging)*
If you are on the $10 a month plus usage plan, the usage charges will be calculated for your individual business and billed monthly along with the PetExec subscription.
* $10 a month plus usage plan is only available to those previously enrolled in Pet Snaps Messaging (prior to March 9, 2023) and Australian packmates grandfathered into this subscription.
A "Month to Date" chart is included in the SMS Log to provide the usage costs incurred since the beginning of the month. At the end of the month, those charges will be totaled and added to the following month’s subscription bill if you are on the $10 month plus usage plan. The SMS log can be used to track those charges. Below is an example of the SMS Log showing this information.
