Pay per SMS. Credits never expire.
Ucode uses prepaid credits instead of a subscription. On the web, packs start at £2.99 for 30 credits. Each number costs a set number of credits depending on the service and country, and you see the price before you rent. If no SMS arrives, the credits are refunded automatically. Credits never expire and work across iOS, Android, Web, Telegram, API, and agents.

Web prices as of September 2026. App Store and Google Play prices are set per region by the store and can differ. Current packs are always listed in the app and at /app/credits.
What a number costs
The credit price of a number depends on the service you are verifying and the country you choose, because routes and demand differ. The app shows the exact price before you confirm, and you can compare Fast and Standard routes where both are available. There are no per-minute charges: Ucode is for receiving verification SMS, not for calls.
How refunds work
- A rental waits about 20 minutes for the SMS.
- If no message arrives, the rental is cancelled and the credits go back to your wallet automatically.
- You do not need to open a ticket or prove anything.
- Agents that pay per SMS with USDC get credits back, not on-chain USDC.
Payment methods
Card payments through Stripe, crypto, and in-app purchases on iOS and Android. One wallet works everywhere you sign in. Agents can top up with USDC on Base via the agent rail.
Referral credits
Share your invite link from the app. When a friend signs up with it, you both get bonus credits, and you earn a share of their first purchase.

FAQ
Is there a free plan?
The app is free to download. Numbers use credits, and failed SMS is refunded. You can also earn credits through referrals.
How much does one verification cost?
It depends on the service and country. The price in credits is shown before you rent, and you pay nothing if the SMS never arrives.
Do unused credits expire?
Never. There is no subscription or monthly fee.
Why are app store prices different?
Apple and Google set regional prices and take a fee, so in-app packs can cost a little more or less than the web price.
Can I get an invoice?
Purchases appear in the web app. Contact [email protected] if you need a copy.
Are agent x402 prices the same?
Yes. Agents buy the same packs at the same sticker prices, settled in USDC on Base.
