95% of mobile apps go unused after one month. RCS can replace 90% of what your app does — at a fraction of the cost. Rich media, verified branding, and one-tap actions inside the native messaging app.

Building a mobile app costs $50,000 to $500,000. But here's the reality:
95% of apps go unused after the first month
App store approval takes days to weeks
User acquisition costs $3-5 per install
Constant updates and maintenance required
Users resist downloading yet another app
No way to verify your brand identity
No images, videos, or interactive elements
No visibility into whether messages were read
Character limits that cut essential information
Messages look identical to spam
The RCS Solution: RCS delivers app-like experiences inside the messaging app your customers already use. No downloads. No friction. Just results.
