Market
CartBoss compares itself with Klaviyo, Omnisend, Postscript, Recart and SMSBump on its own pages[5]. We found no rival with verified revenue on the same basis, so revenue is not compared.
Pricing: per SMS, by country

Price per SMS from a Wayback copy of the pricing page[4] and the live page, read Nov 11, 2026[2]. The change column is our division.
There is no subscription or contract: stores top up a balance and pay for the messages sent[2]. The first recovered cart is free, and the trial needs no card[2]. A 45% margin reflects that each text costs CartBoss money too[1].Our read

Why we scored it this way
Copy
Avoid
- Treating usage revenue as recurring. It can halve in a month. §02
- Ignoring carrier costs. A 45% margin leaves less room than software. §03
- Reading one spike as a trend. Two days made 40% of a month. §02
Our predictions
Three claims with dates. We mark each one right or wrong on its date and keep the result on the page.
Track record: the predictions in our earlier reports are still open; the first checks land Dec 1, 2026. We mark each prediction right or wrong on its date and keep the result on the page.
What could prove us wrong
Things that would change our read, and how to check them.
- We do not know what Nov 8–9 was. Holiday top-ups are our guess; it could be one large customer or a billing change.Check: November and December revenue.
- We do not know why September halved. A lost customer, a price change or a channel change could all explain it.Check: not verifiable.
- Recovery claims are the site’s own. ‘7 million carts recovered’ and ‘99% open rate’ are not verified.Check: not verifiable.
- Platforms add the same flow. Shopify apps and email tools offer SMS cart reminders.Check: competitor features on the next review.
