Costs for SMS, callback, Duo Push for Germany

[schnugg]

Hi,

I use the FREE-Edition of DUO.

What are the costs for SMS (10 credits) and callback (5/20/30 credits) in Euro?

Thanks

Hello @schnugg

Great question! Thank you for sharing it with the community. The answer is a little more complex than just a straightforward price.

Duo Free accounts can purchase what are considered backup telephony credits at any time with a minimum of 1,000 credits. A batch of 1,000 credits costs $10. We only sell telephony credits in US dollars, so your credit card charges whatever the conversion rate is. Currently this would be around €8.97.

The credits you purchase are then used at the rates for the country and device you are reaching. For Germany, this would be SMS (10 credits) and callback (5/20/30 credits):

• SMS - €0.09
• Phone callback - €0.04 / €0.18 / €0.27

Please note that these are estimates and may vary slightly You can see the full rate card here

Alright. Many thanks!

Thanks for posting! Please also note that Duo Push and Duo Mobile-generated passcodes are app-based and have no telephony cost, but require a smartphone or other mobile device.

You can learn more at guide.duo.com about using those authentication methods instead of telephony-based SMS-delivered passcodes or phone callback authentication.
