MSG91 integrated for India SMS at lowest cost — DLT-compliant OTP, transactional, marketing in 5 days.
MSG91 is India's largest SMS infrastructure provider — processing 5B+ messages/year with DLT compliance, OTP at 1.5x success rate vs international providers, and the lowest per-message cost in India. We integrate MSG91 for OTP/auth flows, transactional notifications (orders, payments, deliveries), and DLT-compliant marketing campaigns. Especially valuable for India-heavy SaaS, marketplaces, and B2C apps where SMS cost matters at scale.
Specifics that matter when you are betting your business on a MSG91 integration.
India DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) compliance is mandatory for SMS — Sender ID registration, template approval, and content policy. We handle the full DLT setup with TRAI compliance. Most agencies skip this and SMS gets rejected.
MSG91's India SMS pricing is significantly cheaper than Twilio for India-only volume. For B2C apps sending 100K+ messages/month, switching from Twilio to MSG91 saves ₹40K-2L/month.
MSG91 has direct connections with all major Indian mobile operators (Airtel, Jio, VI, BSNL) — OTP delivery 99%+ within 5 seconds. Compare to international SMS providers where India OTP delivery is 92-95%.
MSG91's SendOTP product offers auto-failover across SMS → Voice → Email → WhatsApp, similar to Twilio Verify but optimized for India. Higher OTP success rate at lower cost.
