How Data Charges & The Account Wallet Work
A simple, predictable, and fair way to power your AI receptionists, phone agents, messaging, and workflows. You never pay for unused bundles, and you stay in total control of every penny.
To protect our competitive infrastructure agreements, exact per-unit rates (per minute, per token, per SMS segment) are reserved for active clients and verified prospective partners.
Two Clear Parts: Your Software License & Your Usage Wallet
Traditional enterprise software locks businesses into rigid contracts with huge minimum bundles. If you have a quiet month, you pay for services you never touched. If you have a busy season, you get hit with surprise penalty fees. The AI Business Integration Hub eliminates both with a clean two-part structure:
Your baseline plan covers the platform itself: CRM, automation engine, website/funnel hosting, AI receptionist framework, calendar booking, brand voice profile, and ongoing security governance.
Real-world communications and AI actions (answering a live phone call, sending an SMS confirmation, generating a voice clip, or running an AI reasoning step) incur fractional utility charges that draw down from your pre-funded Wallet.
How the Wallet Operates Behind the Scenes
Because AI voice agents and phone lines need to answer calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, your account cannot pause while waiting for an invoice to be generated. The Wallet acts as a continuous operating balance:
Initial Credit Loaded
When you activate your account, an onboarding data credit ($100.00 value) and your recurring monthly plan credit are applied first, covering initial setup, phone numbers, and testing.
Live Usage Deducted
As your AI receptionist handles calls, SMS appointment confirmations are sent, or emails are delivered, small fractional deductions are made from your active balance.
Smart Auto-Recharge
You configure your preferred safety threshold (for example, “when balance drops below $15, recharge $50”). This ensures your phone lines never go down or drop customer calls.
Itemized Audit Log
Every single interaction is timestamped and recorded down to the millisecond with carrier confirmation. Export full CSV records anytime for bookkeeping or accounting.
Three Built-In Budget Protections
Receive email and dashboard notifications when your wallet hits 50%, 75%, and 90% of your projected monthly usage so there are zero surprises.
Set a hard monthly ceiling. Choose whether the system “Notifies Only” or pauses high-cost outbound activities when your predefined limit is reached.
For multi-location franchises or agencies, each sub-account maintains its own isolated wallet, allowing independent budgeting and branch-level billing.

Why Usage Costs Are Tied Directly to Revenue Capture
Unlike overhead software expenses that cost money whether you make sales or not, usage charges only happen when your business is actively communicating with a prospective or current customer.
Answering an after-hours emergency call costs pennies in AI compute and carrier connection.
That same call books an HVAC replacement, dental implant consultation, or auto repair ticket worth $1,500 to $10,000+.
Your wallet spend scales only when your business activity scales. You never pay for empty airtime.
Key Wallet Facts for Business Owners
What Happens if the Wallet Balance Reaches Zero?
To prevent service disruptions, the system automatically triggers an auto-recharge before the balance hits zero. If a payment method fails or is declined, outbound automated tasks and AI phone answering may be temporarily paused until a valid payment method is attached. You will receive immediate dashboard and email alerts to avoid any downtime.
Do Monthly Included Credits Roll Over?
Monthly data credits ($25, $50, or $65 depending on your tier) are recurring benefits deposited at the beginning of each billing cycle to offset baseline usage. They reset at the end of each billing cycle and do not roll over. Once your plan credit is consumed, additional usage is funded by your pre-funded wallet balance.
Can We Adjust the Auto-Recharge Amount?
Yes. Inside your AI Hub dashboard settings under Company Billing, you can customize both the recharge trigger threshold (e.g. $10, $20, or $50) and the recharge amount (e.g. $25, $50, or $100+). You can also set a hard monthly ceiling or opt for email notifications only.
Can We Export Invoices for Accounting?
Yes. The Billing Dashboard provides an itemized transaction ledger showing every single deduction with timestamp, user/agent ID, duration, and carrier status. You can export complete CSV reports anytime for internal audit reconciliation or tax documentation.
