Optional add-ons, such as texting leads from a number we provide, carry their own charges, which are listed in the [billing details in our docs](https://auto-respond.com/docs/pricing/) and shown before you turn them on. ## What the price includes The channel price covers the full workflow, not just a canned first message. Which steps run depends on the channel and the features you turn on. - **An instant first reply.** Every supported channel gets its first reply in under 2 seconds, built from your services, price ranges and availability. For Yelp, the AI creates a job-specific response in under 2 seconds. - **Qualifying questions.** The AI asks what you would ask: the service needed, the location and the timing. - **Appointment booking.** The built-in calendar checks the availability you configured and follows your scheduling instructions. When job addresses are available, it can estimate the driving time between jobs and use that estimate when scheduling. - **Follow-ups that stop on their own.** A multi-touch follow-up cadence, for example day 1, day 3 and day 7, stops the moment the customer replies or books. - **Your CRM kept current.** When a CRM is connected, the AI can create or update the customer record. - **Setup in under 2 minutes.** Connect a channel, add your business details and go live the same day. ## How billing works 1. **Pick your channels.** Each connected source, such as one Yelp location or one Thumbtack account, is its own monthly subscription. 2. **Check the order summary.** Before you confirm, it shows whether the 7-day trial applies, the amount due today and the recurring monthly price. 3. **Connect and go live.** The channel starts answering new leads as soon as it is connected and active. 4. **Change it any month.** Add a channel when you start selling on a new platform, pause one during a slow season, or cancel online. ## How the voice agent is priced The voice agent costs $10 a month for each phone number plus $1 per billable minute, for inbound and outbound calls. It is optional and billed separately from the message channels, so a business that only wants text replies never pays for voice. What drives the voice bill is simple: how many numbers you keep, and how many minutes of calls the agent handles. A business that forwards only after-hours calls uses fewer minutes than one that sends every call to the agent. Outbound callbacks happen only when a lead includes a callable number, and the callback itself is instant. The [billing docs](https://auto-respond.com/docs/pricing/) explain exactly how minutes are counted on each call, and the [AI voice agent page](https://auto-respond.com/ai-voice-agent/) shows what the agent does on a call. ## What changes your monthly bill, and what never does Because each channel has a flat price, the total moves only for reasons you choose. ### These change it - Connecting or removing a source. Each Yelp location, Thumbtack account or Instagram source is its own subscription. - Voice agent numbers, and the minutes of calls the agent handles. - Optional add-ons, priced before you turn them on. - A prorated charge when you add a channel partway through a billing period, shown on the confirmation screen first. ### These never do - More leads. There are no per-lead fees: a channel costs the same whether it brings in five leads or five hundred. - A busy month. There are no lead caps, so no allowance runs out halfway through the month. - Getting started. There are no setup fees: you connect channels and add your business details yourself. - Leaving. There is no contract: subscriptions run month to month and you cancel online. ## Example setups and their monthly line items A sensible way to start is with the one or two channels that bring in the most paid leads, then add voice when missed calls are the bigger leak. | Business | Connects | Monthly line items | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | A solo handyman whose leads come from Yelp | One Yelp source | $99 a month for Yelp | | A two-crew contractor on Yelp and Thumbtack who misses calls while on jobs | Yelp, Thumbtack and one voice number | $99 for Yelp, $99 for Thumbtack, $10 a month for the voice number, plus $1 for each minute of calls | | A cleaning company that runs Facebook ads | Facebook Lead Ads and Messenger | $19 for Lead Ads and $49 for Messenger | | A company with two Yelp locations | Two Yelp sources | $99 a month for each connected Yelp source | ## How to compare this with an answering service or receptionist When you compare quotes, line up the same four questions for every option: what triggers a charge (a channel, a call, a minute or a lead), whether the price rises when lead volume rises, which lead sources are answered at all, and whether the service books the job or only takes a message. Here, a channel, a voice number or a voice minute triggers a charge, and a lead never does.
