How Does Phonzai Pricing Work?

Phonzai's pricing is designed to scale with your business needs. We base the cost on the number of users in your phone system or the number of agents with phone lines in your contact center. This approach ensures you have the appropriate licensing for your potential caller reach.

What does this mean for you?

Simply tell us the number of users or agents in your phone system or contact center when you set up your subscription
Flecha

What is a “user” or “agent” and how do I know how many I have?

When you have a contact center (call center) or phone system subscription with a service provider, you are paying per seat, which is referred to as a user or agent seat:

Agent Seat: The number of seats that enable agents to accept and/or make calls within a contact center (call center).
User Seat: The number of seats that allow users to make and receive calls through a cloud-based phone system.
Telephone Line: If you have an on-premise phone system, count the total number of telephone lines across all locations.

Not sure which applies to you?

No worries! If you're unsure whether you have users or agents in your current phone system setup, simply contact your provider or system administrator for clarification.
Flecha

What Usage rights are covered in my plan?

Your Phonzai subscription covers:

Usage Rights: Your subscription grants you exclusive rights to use the messages you create within the phone system or contact center associated with your subscription.

Text-To-Speech: Any message generated using text to speech that does not contain music, can be used indefinitely in your system.

Music: Your Music License is valid as long as your subscription is active.

*For further information, consult our terms of service.
Flecha

What are the payment options for my subscription?

Annual Payment: Pay for the entire year upfront and enjoy uninterrupted access for 12 months.

Monthly Payment: Pay on a month-to-month basis, but please note that this is still an annual contract. This means you commit to a 12-month subscription, with the convenience of spreading the payments over 12 months.

Can I add credits to my Phonzai subscription?

If you need more Word Credits, you can purchase more as a one time plan or subscription. If you need additional Ai Credits you will need to upgrade to the next subscription tier, please contact support for assistance.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

If you decide to cancel your Phonzai subscription, here’s what you need to know:

How does On-Hold Message pricing Work?

One-time Purchase: starts at $150 per message.
Subscription: starts at $55/month, with 500 word credits included.

*Pricing varies based on whether you have a Phone System or Contact center and the size of your phone system (Agent Seat, User Seat, or Telephone line count)

Flecha

What is a “user” or “agent” and how do I know how many I have?

When you have a contact center (call center) or phone system subscription with a service provider, you are paying per seat, which is referred to as a user or agent seat:

Agent Seat: The number of seats that enable agents to accept and/or make calls within a contact center (call center).
User Seat: The number of seats that allow users to make and receive calls through a cloud-based phone system.
Telephone Line: If you have an on-premise phone system, count the total number of telephone lines across all locations.

If you don’t know how many seats you are paying for with your service provider, contact your administrator.
Flecha

Why is pricing based on the number of users or agents I have?

We ask for the amount of users in your phone system to calculate your potential reach in order to provide the necessary license coverage for music usage.
Flecha

Am I a good fit for an On-Hold Subscription?

An On-Hold subscription is ideal for customers who:

• Maintain more than one On-Hold message in their phone system
• Prefer to update announcements more than once a year
• Want to market to their callers while they await assistance
• Aim to engage callers during wait times with timely and relevant information
• Seek an easy, cost-effective solution for creating & updating on-hold messages, anytime

Can I listen to my message before I pay?

While personalized previews aren't available, you can be confident that your selected voice talent will bring your script to life with the same tone and pace demonstrated in their sample.

We encourage you to choose a voice talent whose sample closely matches your desired style.
Flecha

Can I make a change after I submit my order?

If you need to modify your order after submitting your script, please reach out to our Customer Support. Provide your Order ID along with details of the changes you'd like to make. Please be aware that there may be a fee for adjustments made to the script after purchase.
