Does "unlimited team members" really mean no per-user fees, ever?
Yes — on Boss, add your whole crew, office staff, and seasonal hires at no extra cost.
What happens after the 60-day trial if I don't pick a plan?
Nothing's charged — there's no card on file. You pick a plan when you're ready.
Can I cancel anytime? Any contract?
No contracts — cancel anytime, and your data is yours to export.
Which plans include the AI receptionist?
Crew and Boss: included in the plan price, not a paid add-on. Crew includes 750 AI-receptionist minutes a month and Boss 2,000. Past that, calls go to voicemail first until the 1st of the next month (UTC), you still get every message, and there is no overage charge.
Is there a setup or onboarding fee?
No setup fee — you're up and running in a day.
