2Plan

Which plan are you interested in? *

Founding Client, if a spot is still open. $150 setup, then $125/month while your account stays active and in good standing; it can rise only for documented provider-cost increases, given to you in writing. Up to 300 AI talk minutes a month; 40¢/min over, with notice first. Choosing this adds you to our free founding list, in the order you join. It holds your place in line, and after a quick fit check you can reserve a spot (non-binding): you owe nothing, there's no invoice or payment until founding agreements open, and our team will contact you then. Front Desk. $299 one-time setup, then $249/month. Up to 300 AI talk minutes a month. Prices may change before we open; we'll confirm them in writing before you pay. Not sure yet. Our team will give you an honest recommendation.

The founding price requires one thing: a short monthly feedback survey for the first 3 months (a quick email survey). No review is required for the founding rate. The founding rate can rise only by a documented increase in our provider costs, with 30 days' written notice. The setup fee isn't refundable once your line is live. Full terms are in a short written founding agreement. Month-to-month, cancel with 30 days' notice. Taxes extra.
