Yotpo SMS Review For Australian Businesses [2026 Updated]

Yotpo SMS, formerly SMSBump, no longer exists. Yotpo acquired SMSBump in January 2020, merged it into Yotpo SMS and Email in May 2023, announced its exit from native email and SMS on 5 August 2025 and completed the shutdown by the end of that year. Nothing about price, presence, support or sender types is published. The decommission page names no replacement, and neither of the destinations named in trade coverage, Attentive and Omnisend, is a like-for-like Australian SMS gateway.

Sending under your own brand name also depends on the ACMA SMS Sender ID Register, separate from this site's own scoring. What the register requires.

What Yotpo SMS publishes instead of a rate

Yotpo SMS publishes no Australian per-message rate that maps onto a monthly volume, so this page carries no rate table and no cost calculator. Putting a figure here would mean quoting a price Yotpo SMS does not publish. What it does publish is below.

"Not published" means the provider states nothing either way on its Australian pages. It is not the same as "No", and this page does not turn one into the other.
