Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Two billing models: per-call from $25/mo, per-minute from $49/mo — wrong choice inflates costs.

medium

Top published US tier is 200 calls at $250/mo; heavier volume likely needs custom pricing.

A user reports one accurate bill and one overcharge on test calls — audit invoices early.

No security or compliance page; ask about data handling before signing.
