When you use communication features like SMS, Calls, Voicemail drops, emails, or WhatsApp messages, the cost associated with those communications is deducted from this credit balance. This is sometimes also referred to as a wallet.
As of Nov 1, 2022, our rates in the US are 10% cheaper than Twilio and approximately 8% cheaper than Mailgun. Thank you to our agencies for the overwhelming response — more power to you.

Based on your auto-recharge rules on the Agency Settings → Billing page, we charge your card with the recharge amount once your credit balance falls below the threshold.

This is also the default setting. Here, once your credit balance goes below $10, your agency's credit card is charged $10 to bring your balance up to $20.

Here, your agency's card is charged $200 once your credit balance goes below $50, bringing your balance up to $250.
Important
When a charge to your credit card fails, we notify all agency admins on the account. SMS, calls, emails, and other communications for all your clients are interrupted if your credit balance drops below $0.
Heads Up
Delays in payment processing can result in a one-time charge for double the recharge amount if your balance falls below $0. If your balance goes negative, the first recharge charge is applied to bring it back above $0. If that charge doesn't raise your balance above the set threshold, a second charge equal to the auto-recharge amount is applied. In total, this could result in a charge of double the recharge amount.
6How can I rebill usage to my clients?
If you're on the Pro plan or higher
LC Communications is designed to work better with SaaS than Twilio or Mailgun. Some inherent benefits include:
Instantaneous billing (no lag from Twilio webhooks)
A built-in ramp for new sub-accounts (locations) so a new client doesn't spike your bill — helping your agency's cash flow
Error rate and bounce rate monitoring to identify bad lists
Opt-out and unsubscribe monitoring for spam reduction
Carrier complaint and violation monitoring for AUP violations, protecting sender reputation
On the Pro plan or higher, you can rebill this usage to your clients using SaaS Mode (Phone & Email rebilling), including a markup to make a profit on the rebilling.
What Changed
We no longer apply a markup when rebilling carrier charges and A2P 10DLC charges — the original charges pass through without any additional markup. If you expected earnings to be exactly 2x, 3x, or 3.5x your spend, note that compliance and carrier fee charges are excluded from markup.
Please refer to:
Connecting your agency's Stripe account to collect rebilling payments
Rebilling works so that the platform invoices you for usage, then invoices your clients on your behalf. Funds you collect from clients are deposited into your connected Stripe account.

Your agency receives an invoice from the platform with platform branding
Sub-accounts (your client locations) receive an invoice from you, with your logo and branding as configured in your Stripe account
This system is always prepaid, meaning your agency collects money upfront and maintains positive cash flow.
If you're on the Starter or Freelancer plan
You can download a CSV report for the month and charge your clients using platform invoices or an external billing platform.
Note
LC Communication rebilling without markup for Freelancer accounts is planned for a future release.

9Paying both LC Communications and a previous provider (Twilio or Mailgun/SMTP)
By design, LC Communications (LC Phone & LC Email) is enabled for your clients going forward. This means your existing clients may still be on the old provider (Twilio for calls and SMS, Mailgun/SMTP for emails). During this transition, you may be invoiced both for LC Communications usage and by Twilio, Mailgun, or other SMTP providers for usage on older sub-accounts.
The easiest way to resolve this is to move all existing clients over to LC Phone & LC Email and close out your accounts with other providers.
Important
Certain assets, like call recordings, do not migrate over. If you need access to call recordings or logs for compliance or HIPAA regulations, keep your Twilio account operating in a dormant state.
10FAQ
Q: What happens if a payment fails?
If SMS and email charges are left unpaid, we stop all outbound emails and SMS.
Q: What happens to my balance if I cancel?
We can refund the credit to the credit card linked to your agency account.
Q: My wallet has a balance, but I can't send SMS or email — why?
Your balance needs to stay at or above 50% of your configured "when balance is lower than" threshold for LC Phone and LC Email. If it drops below 50% of that threshold, outbound emails and SMS are stopped. If your agency sends high volume, raise this threshold so auto-recharge kicks in sooner — otherwise you risk running out of headroom before the recharge triggers.

For example, if "when balance is lower than" is set to $10, your wallet needs to stay above $5 to send outbound emails and SMS. This safeguards the account from going negative.
Q: Can I customize my auto-recharge amount and threshold?
Yes. Both values are configurable from Agency Settings → Billing, so you can tune how often and how much your card is charged based on your sending volume.
Q: Does my credit balance expire?
No, credit balances don't expire — they carry forward and are drawn down as communications are sent across your sub-accounts.
Q: Can I see spend broken out by individual sub-account?
Yes. The detailed transactions log and CSV export both include a unified view across all sub-accounts (locations), so you can filter or sort by client.
