Why us

Why brands upgrade to our RCS API

Ecosystem

Everything RCS connects to

RCS is one channel in a bigger system — scaled broadcasting, an SMS safety net, agentic AI, and a shared inbox tying it all together.

SMS broadcasting

The universal safety net — when a device can’t receive RCS, the same send still lands as plain SMS.

Omnichannel inbox

Every RCS reply lands right beside WhatsApp, SMS and social replies — all inside one shared team inbox.

Answers To Your Questions

RCS business messaging — frequently asked questions

RCS (Rich Communication Services) is an upgrade to SMS that adds verified branding, rich cards, carousels, buttons and read receipts to text messaging on supported Android devices.

SMS is plain text from a number. RCS shows your verified brand name and logo, and supports images, carousels, suggested replies and delivery/read status.

The message automatically falls back to standard SMS, so delivery never depends on the recipient having an RCS-capable device.

Yes — brands need to be verified with Google to send branded RCS messages. We handle the full verification process for you.
