## Frequently asked questions

### Are there any hidden fees?

No setup fees and no contracts. Starter and PRO have unlimited minutes under our fair-use policy (about 200 and 350 calls a month), so there's no per-minute bill. The Business plan includes 1,000 minutes a month; extra minutes are optional and only billed if you turn them on.

### What's included in the $249.99/year plan?

Starter includes one AI receptionist and one phone number, unlimited minutes under fair use, 24/7 answering, calendar booking, call summaries by text, call transfers, spam blocking, and English + Spanish. CRM integrations, API, website chat and extra receptionists are on PRO.

### Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contracts, no commitments. Cancel anytime in the app, or in Billing on the web. Your service continues until the end of your paid period.

### Do you offer refunds?

Yes. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied within the first 30 days, we'll refund your payment in full - no questions asked.

### How does the 7-day free trial work?

Start in the app or on the web. Monthly plans include a 7-day free trial (on the web, Starter). A card is required, and you're charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. Yearly plans are charged at signup.

### How do you make money at $249.99/year?

AI costs have dropped dramatically. We use advanced language models that cost fractions of a cent per call. By focusing on small businesses and keeping things simple, we've eliminated the overhead that makes competitors charge $200-2,000/month.
