Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Bytevo usage-based pricing.

What happens if I exceed my plan limits?

You will be charged the overage rate for your plan tier. For Workflow Pro plans, overages are billed at the per-action rate shown for your tier. For pay-as-you-go users, standard usage rates apply.

Can I switch between plans at any time?

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

How do I track my usage?

Your dashboard shows real-time usage for all services including calls, SMS, emails, AI functions, and workflow actions.

Can I use AI functions without additional messaging costs?

AI functions used outside of messaging or calls (like Content AI or Funnel AI) only incur the AI cost. However, when AI is used for SMS or calls, both the AI cost and the standard communication cost apply.

What is the difference between AI-powered calls and regular calls?

Regular calls use standard per-minute rates. AI-powered calls add the Voice AI rate ($0.26/min) on top of the base call rate for automated conversation handling.

Can I use my own Twilio account instead?

Yes. Connect your own Twilio account to pay Twilio directly for SMS and voice. All other Bytevo usage-based costs still apply.

How can I reduce my call recording storage costs?

Set retention limits or enable auto-deletion under Settings > Call Recording. Storage costs are $0.00075 per minute per month.
