Subscription & Usage

smrtPhone's simple pricing structure for our cloud-based phone system is based on a company-level subscription and usage. Instead of being charged per user, you pay one monthly subscription for access to the platform for your whole team, and then you use a shared pool of credit for the actual transactions you make (minutes, texts, call recording storage, etc.)

Subscriptions can be month-to-month, or you can choose to lock into an annual subscription for a discount.

To access smrtPhone you will need:

  • A subscription to one of our plans

  • Credit to your smrtPhone system for usage


Why Not Unlimited Calls?

We use the pay-as-you-go model because it is the most straightforward and puts you in total control of your costs. You see your exact usage through logs, and you can match those logs with billing to understand how to manage your own costs. We don't offer all-included or unlimited usage plans because we operate under the philosophy of Radical Transparency.

Other providers who offer included minutes assume they can make extra money off of use-or-lose minutes that are baked into the price (remember the adage: The house always wins!). We want our relationship to be a symbiotic, win-win business partnership.

The question, How much does smrtPhone cost? is completely in your hands, and we give you the tools and insight you need to manage it.

For the most up-to-date pricing, please refer to the pricing page of our website.

Ongoing Usage: Maintaining Your smrtPhone Balance

In addition to subscription fees, you pay for all usage including phone numbers, call recording & storage, text messages, and call minutes.

To make/receive calls or texts and to pay for the numbers you have in your account, you will need to maintain a pre-paid balance of credit loaded into your system. The amount of credit remaining in your account is visible on your dashboard.

If you run out of credit, your account will be suspended from activity until you top it up again. You can set an Auto Top-Up that will charge your card at whatever threshold you set. After a month or two of billing, you should get a sense of what the right threshold is to minimize excessive credit card charges while keeping your balance where it needs to be to accomplish your business goals.
