Pricing & access
From $849/mo
Autopilot is $849 USD/month, billed monthly, or $10,188 paid once per year. The initial annual order includes one Core website build; it is not a new website every renewal. The plan includes Engage website AI features. Paid service starts after setup approval and activation. Usage limits, communication/AI costs, integration scope and any other external charges must be confirmed in the order; the public plan does not itemize included call minutes or overages.
Data access, recording & usage details
- The terms require clients to approve scripts, legal notices and recording or transcription consent. The receptionist is not for emergency communication, medical, legal or financial advice. Unauthorized calls, spam and misleading use are prohibited.
- The privacy policy permits call details, recordings where enabled, transcripts and summaries to be processed by supporting services, potentially in the US, Vietnam or other countries. Retention is purpose-based without a fixed period. Confirm the contracting party, processors and data terms before activation; no compliance certification is established by these policies.
