Usage Summary

Your invoice itemizes usage by account and plan.

What each channel is charged for

An email conversation is charged once, when the agent picks it up — not per reply, and not a second time if it is escalated to a human. If the agent fails to produce a reply, the charge is refunded. On a Pro (Commit & Save) plan the per-email-session rate follows your commitment, exactly as your voice and chat rates do; the figure is on the plan comparison grid at Manage → Billing → Overview, in the Per-Email Session Rate row.
An email agent needs enough balance to cover one email session before it will answer. When the balance is short it stops replying and leaves the thread for a human, with no reply to the sender and no entry in email history — see Email Agents.

Wallet Top-Ups

A manual top-up (Manage → Billing → Add Credit → Pay with Stripe) charges the card on file, and your wallet is credited once that payment settles. In practice that is a few seconds, and the balance updates by itself without a refresh.
  • A card that is declined, or that needs 3-D Secure authentication, returns an error and no credit is applied.
  • Because the credit is applied on settlement, anything that tops up and then immediately reads the balance can see the pre-top-up figure for a moment. Poll the balance rather than assuming a successful submission means the money has landed.
  • Each settled payment credits the wallet exactly once, even if the payment provider retries its notification.
Auto top-up behaves differently: its credit is applied immediately and settled by invoice.

How minutes are calculated

  • We measure each call from the moment it is answered until it hangs up, using the connected duration reported by the carrier.
  • Transferred calls: when a call is handed to a human agent, the whole call is billed once, as a single call. Its duration covers the AI conversation, the time spent dialing and ringing the transfer destination, and the conversation with the human agent. The transfer is not billed as a second call.
  • Rounding: Usage is aggregated to the nearest second; totals may round to two decimals on the invoice.
  • Exclusions: Failed calls that do not connect are not billed.
The Duration shown against a call in Call History is the same figure used to bill it.
