The gaps buyers hit most: Only the entry price is published. $97/mo for 100 calls/mo is the single figure on the public site; the Advanced (500 calls/mo) and Premium (2,500 calls/mo) tiers exist in the app's billing screen with no published price. Plans are metered in calls, not minutes. Only the request-only Pay As You Go plan is per-minute, at $0.19/min with a 250 minutes/month floor to keep numbers active.
