Why Ghost's Pricing Wins
Most alternatives to Ghost require a subscription, a monthly minimum, or a separate phone plan. Ghost uses a simple credit system — buy credits when you need them, use them whenever you want. Credits never expire, so there's no waste.
For marketplace sellers, the typical monthly spend is $5–15 for an active month of buyer communications. That's less than a delivery fee on most platforms — and it protects your personal phone number from every buyer who responds to your listings.
