How the billing works
Per-minute billing against a plan allowance, with overage above it. Because PATLive’s value is thorough scripted handling, average call length tends to run longer, which is worth modeling honestly when you estimate a monthly bill.
Costs to check beyond the headline price
Setup fees on some plans, overage minutes, and the indirect cost of script depth: the more questions your script asks, the more minutes each call bills.
