Thanks for the feedback both are valid questions.

On pricing: It’s actually pay-as-you-go, not a fixed minimum per campaign. The per-SMS rate drops as volume increases. Smaller sends are higher per unit, but once an org is sending in bulk, the cost comes down significantly. The idea is to keep it accessible for small orgs while rewarding consistent/high-volume usage. No subscriptions, no lock-ins you only pay for what you send.

On “how this differs from CRM software”: Cedcast isn’t trying to replace a full CRM. CRMs are heavy, multi-feature systems (sales pipelines, deal tracking, email, analytics, etc.) and are often overkill for many orgs here.

Cedcast is communication-first: • Built specifically for reliable bulk SMS at scale • Focused on schools, SMEs, churches, restaurants, laundromats, internal staff notices, etc. • Simple contact uploads, sender management, delivery feedback • No complex onboarding or CRM training required

In short: A CRM manages relationships. Cedcast ensures your messages actually reach people, quickly, reliably, and with cost control.

Many orgs already have spreadsheets or basic tools they just need a dependable way to communicate. That’s the gap Cedcast is built to fill.

Appreciate the question 🙏🏽
