Trying to get an SMS API key for our self hosted service, but I can't find the pricing for SMS alone or create the 'development' or 'production' envs as described here https://supertokens.com/docs/passwordless/sms-delivery/supertokens-sms-service#1-get-the-sms-api-key Does these apply to self hosted instances? And is it possible to get an SMS api key for self hosted instances?

Hey. You need to create a dev and prod env first on our dashboard on supertokens.com. And then the prod env section will show the sms key.
The cost is same as twilio + 20% on top

That is what the documentation directs to do as well, but I really don't see an option for that. There is an "enabled paid features" tab which the self hosted tab gives the three options none of which are SMS. The only other part of the dashboard page is "getting started" but when I click the self hosted option, it simply links to the documentation page and does not provide any more steps. I would think this would be where the option to create a dev and prod account are, but I do not see them anywhere.

Oh. Right. You should click on managed service and pick any region (doesn’t matter) and then you will see a deploy button

@rp_st So we have to do a managed service in order to get the SMS API key? Currently we have been self hosting. Can we continue to self host, but still follow the steps for getting the SMS key via setting up envs for a managed service?
r
yes
deploy the managed service, and you can just ignore it and use the sms key in your self hostede setup

Thanks!
