Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as overage on Managed Launch?

Minutes beyond the 1000 included bill at $0.45/min. Fair use assumes normal small-business patterns; sustained 3× traffic triggers a courtesy review, not a silent cutoff (AUP at /legal/aup).

Is there a free plan?

No.

Why not undercut competitors?

Strategy is market-rate pricing, not race-to-bottom. Promo decisions come from Mike only.

Multi-location pricing?

Custom quote for multi-location or unusual setup — not invented package prices.

Setup fee on PAYG?

Yes: $97 one-time setup on PAYG.

Annual option?

Yes: $6,000/year on the Managed Launch path.
