I suggested it before, but I think you can work around it: Let your customers give you their Twilio API key (with a big disclaimer that any charges by Twilio are not your responsibility...).

If I can get costs down elsewhere I'll maybe just do "unlimited" on some of the accounts, where "unlimited" is some large arbitrary number haha.
That would be the nicest user experience for your users, but it is a bit risky. You probably have a "reasonable number of notifications per user per month" in mind. As you sign up new users, you will sooner or later get some that will exceed that number by a lot--without a malicious intent.
