| Which plan to pick | Start pay as you go: there's no monthly fee and you get free credits to test. Move to Build only when you're making enough calls that the lower per-minute rate covers the $299 fee, which is roughly 15,000 minutes a month. | Growth is the plan most small teams should start on, because Lite has no proper email sync or automations. Move to Premium if you want web forms and lead scoring without paying for add-ons. Prices exclude tax and vary by country. | Individuals should take Pro on the yearly plan; it is cheap and ten sessions a week is plenty. Teams wanting their own sales scenarios need Business. |
