- No long-term contract: cancel with 30 days' notice, per its pricing page.
- Call (406) 840-0404 to hear it answer.
Watch for
- The live AI voice agent on phone calls is a paid add-on "priced by scope," and so are website chat and Facebook, Instagram and TikTok messages.
- The founding-tier price is limited: its site says "Two of the first three founding spots are still open."
PriceFounding tier $397 a month base, setup from $500 one time, first month free; after that from $497 a month base, setup from $1,000. Voice AI and chat channels are quoted on top.
