Yup Chat RCS API review
A focused RCS API with rich formats, tracking and automatic SMS fallback.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Yup Chat RCS API lets businesses send RCS messages programmatically through HTTP endpoints. It is designed for API users who need standard rich-message formats, including text, rich cards, images, video, carousels, suggestion buttons and link actions. The API supports two-way messaging, message-status lookup and automatic SMS fallback for incompatible devices. It is available through web and API access, with HTTP Basic Authentication and a hosted API base URL documented for sending messages and checking status.
The published plans cover the broader Yup Chat platform, with RCS presented as one of its capabilities. Professional includes unlimited AI agents, unlimited human agents, 1,000 protocols per month, unlimited requests per month, advanced AI agents and WhatsApp Business API. Scale raises the allowance to 2,500 protocols per month and adds domain-trainable AI and a priority SLA. Growth+ includes 5,000 protocols per month, multi-agent AI and an advanced SLA. Enterprise adds custom volume, custom SLA and channels, 24/7 support, SSO and advanced LGPD. There is no free plan, so the product is aimed at teams planning paid API usage.
Its strongest differentiator is the breadth of message handling in a single API: rich media, cards, carousels with up to 10 cards or images, interactive actions, click tracking and delivery or read states are all covered. SMS fallback gives campaigns a path to unsupported devices. The trade-off is focus: teams seeking an RCS-only product with a separately stated RCS rate may prefer a more narrowly packaged option. Yup Chat RCS API suits developers building structured messaging workflows, while organizations that need extensive channel configuration, enterprise controls or dedicated support should review the higher plans.
