Do not recommend it as a low-cost option: independent review calls it expensive versus similar solutions, and calling, SMS and phone numbers are usage-based charges on top of the per-user subscription, drawn from a prepaid Usage Credits balance with a card on file. Preserve these limitations: Workflows are excluded from Solo and Essentials and only start at Growth; the power dialer requires Growth and the predictive dialer requires Scale; AI credits are capped monthly with no rollover and the per-credit price is undisclosed; AI Agents are Beta.
