two way RCS messaging API

Are you tired of paying for SMS blasts that disappear into the void? You send a plain text message, hope for a reply, and watch your marketing budget drain with little to show for it. The real cost isn’t just the price per SMS—it’s the missed opportunities, the low engagement, and the conversations that never happen. What if you could not only start a dialogue but do it for less money than you’re spending right now?

That’s the power of a two way RCS messaging API. It’s not an upgrade; it’s a replacement. And here’s the secret most providers won’t tell you: RCS business messaging costs less per message than traditional bulk SMS. You read that right. You get interactive, rich-media conversations at a lower price than plain text. Let’s talk about why your current SMS strategy is costing you more than you think, and how switching flips the script entirely.

The Hidden Cost of Your “Cheap” Bulk SMS

You chose bulk SMS for its reach and perceived affordability. But let’s calculate the real ROI. A typical promotional SMS has a dismal click-through rate, often below 1%. It’s a one-way broadcast with no room for interaction. Customers can’t ask questions, can’t see your product, and can’t easily take action. You’re paying for a monologue.

Every ignored text is wasted money. Every missed conversation is a lost sale. Your “cost-effective” SMS is quietly eating into your profits by failing to engage. The market has moved beyond 160-character blasts. Your customers expect rich, app-like experiences right in their native messaging app. And now, you can deliver that without increasing your budget—in fact, you can reduce it.

Enter RCS: Better Conversations, Lower Price Tag

Rich Communication Services (RCS) is the new business messaging standard built into Android phones. Think of it as iMessage for businesses, but with powerful commerce features. A two way RCS messaging API plugs this capability directly into your CRM, website, or app.

This isn’t a premium product with a premium price. It’s a smarter product with a smarter price. The two-way capability means the conversation doesn’t end with your broadcast. Customers can reply, ask for details, select options, and complete actions—all within the same chat. This dramatically shortens the sales cycle and increases customer satisfaction.

Why Indian Businesses Are Switching (And You Should Too)

Forward-thinking companies in e-commerce, banking, and logistics aren’t just testing RCS; they’re migrating their core communication to it. Why the rush? First-mover advantage. While competitors spam with outdated SMS, you can build rich, personalized relationships. Customers remember and prefer brands that communicate effectively.

With over 16 years of expertise in the messaging industry, our founder Sudarshan Singh has seen every trend come and go. RCS isn’t a trend; it’s the inevitable replacement for transactional and promotional SMS in India. The adoption rate on Android phones is soaring, and the window to get ahead is now. Don’t let your competitors build these customer relationships first.

Features That Don’t Just Impress—They Convert

Our two way RCS messaging API isn’t about flashy tech; it’s about tangible business outcomes. Here’s what you get:

• Rich Media & Cards: Send high-res images, videos, and product catalogs. Show, don’t just tell. Increase purchase intent instantly.
• Interactive Buttons & Quick Replies: Drive action with “Book Now,” “View Details,” or “Speak to Agent” buttons. Reduce friction for the customer.
• Read Receipts & Typing Indicators: Know when your message is delivered and read. See when a customer is typing a reply. This data is gold for your sales and support teams.
• Secure File Sharing: Send PDF invoices, booking confirmations, or brochures directly in the chat. No more broken download links or email switches.
• Google Verified Sender Badge: Build immediate trust. Your business name and logo appear with a verified tick, ensuring 99.9%+ delivery and higher open rates.

The ROI is in The Interaction

A static SMS can’t compete with an interactive RCS message. The ability for a customer to tap a button to confirm an order, reschedule a delivery, or browse products turns a passive notification into an active session. This is where cost savings meet revenue growth.

Real Results: Industry Use Cases That Save & Earn

E-commerce: Abandoned cart recovery. Instead of a plain text “You forgot something,” send an RCS carousel with the abandoned items, prices, and a “Complete Purchase” button. Recovery rates can increase by 40% while your messaging cost per recovered cart drops.

Banking & Finance: Credit card statements or fraud alerts. Send a secure, verified message with a summary and a button to “View Full Statement” or “Confirm Transaction.” Improves security and reduces call centre costs by deflecting simple queries.

Logistics & Delivery: Live tracking updates. Send a map view with live location, ETA, and buttons for “Delay Delivery” or “Contact Driver.” This eliminates millions of “Where is my order?” support calls, creating massive operational savings.

Common Myths Busted: “RCS is Expensive”

Reality: With Android dominating the Indian market, your audience is already using it. They’re ready for a better experience. Giving them a dated SMS experience reflects poorly on your brand.

The bottom line? Sticking with traditional SMS is the more expensive choice when you factor in lost engagement and higher cost per acquisition.
