How much does an answering service cost?
Traditional answering service pricing often depends on minutes, hours of coverage, call volume, and whether appointment scheduling is included. Skaala Essential costs $60/mo in the US, excl. VAT, and includes AI answering, appointment booking, call routing, CRM, SMS, and analytics.

Do prices include VAT?
No. All prices exclude VAT. VAT or sales tax is added on the invoice where applicable.
Is there a commitment period?
Not on plans purchased online. Monthly billing runs month to month and annual billing a year at a time. You can cancel at any time; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and paid time is not refunded. If you sign a service agreement with our sales team, the term and notice period are stated in that agreement before you sign.
Is there a trial?
Yes, all plans include a 7-day trial. You add a payment method at signup so we can provision your number and AI agent immediately — but you're not charged until day 8. Cancel anytime before then from the dashboard and nothing is billed. All features are available during the trial.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) as well as local payment methods depending on your region.
Can I upgrade or downgrade?
Absolutely. You can switch plans at any time. When upgrading, you get immediate access to the new plan's features. When downgrading, the change takes effect at the next billing period.
What happens if I exceed my minutes?
Minutes beyond your allowance are charged at a fixed per-minute rate (for example $0.20 on Essential and $0.06 on Business in the US, excl. tax). The included minutes apply per month even on annual billing, and extra minutes are invoiced monthly in arrears — they are not part of the annual fee. You receive notifications as you approach your limit so you can upgrade or adjust your usage.
