Plan wallet money and credits expire at the end of each period. Money you add by top-up never expires. Prices exclude GST and are charged by the WorksBuddy Payment app.

Nothing is marked up except our own fee.

Three engines make a voice agent: one hears the caller, one works out the reply, one speaks it. You can see what each of them costs, and swap any of them.

Change any engine and the rate rewrites itself.

The numbers on this page come from the same price list the product bills against.

Your number, your carrier

Connect your own Twilio or Plivo account. You keep your numbers and your rates, and your carrier bills you for the line.

02

Top-ups never expire

Money you add yourself stays in the wallet until you spend it. Plan money and plan credits last for the plan period.
