What developers keep rebuilding

These are the problems that slow down every messaging integration.

Debugging in the dark

When a message fails, you need to know why — carrier code, recipient status, exact timing. Not just "failed."

Surprise invoices

You should know what you'll pay before you send. Per-message, per-country, in your currency.

Rebuilding the wheel

Retry logic, delivery tracking, webhook verification — every team builds these from scratch. Every time.

Everything you need to send with confidence.

Built for developers who ship fast and businesses who need to scale.

SMS & Email in One API

Send SMS and email from a single integration. One SDK, one dashboard, one billing account.

Live / Test / DryRun Modes

Switch environments from your dashboard. Test without spending credits. Ship with confidence.

Go SDK & REST API

Official Go SDK with PHP, Node.js, and Python coming. Clean REST API with copy-paste examples.

Team & Organization Management

Manage multiple brands from one account. Add team members, assign roles, control access.

Credit Management & GHS Billing

Why teams choose SMSGist.

We focused on the things that actually matter when you're shipping a product.

Credit delegation built in.

Allocate budgets from your organization to individual apps and credentials. Track spending at every level. No other African provider offers this.

Three environments, not two.

Live, Test, and DryRun modes. DryRun simulates the full send pipeline without touching any carrier — so you can test your integration logic for free.

Official SDKs in your language.

Go SDK shipping now. PHP, Laravel, Node.js, and Python coming. The SDKs handle encryption, auth, and retries — you just call send.

SMS and Email, one account.

Both channels from a single API, a single dashboard, and a single billing account. No need to integrate two different providers.

Ghana Cedis. Mobile money.

Top up in GHS via mobile money or Paystack. No FX conversions. No USD invoices. You know exactly what you're paying.

Campaigns and scheduling.

Schedule messages for the right time. Save reusable templates. Manage contacts and groups — all from the dashboard, no code needed.
