About 2 minutes per AI call, on the cheapest plan that covers it. Quo is priced on its Business plan because Sona can only transfer calls on Business and up.
| Business | FAST RESPONSE AI | Quo Business (monthly) | Quo Business (annual) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo owner, 50 AI calls | $40 to $47 | $65.50 | $55.50 |
| 3-person team, 100 AI calls | $95 to $104 | $148 | $118 |
| 8-person team, 200 AI calls | $127 to $154 | $363 | $283 |
Even on Quo's cheaper Starter plan, where Sona can't transfer calls, it's $47.50 to $51.50 for the solo owner and $94 to $106 for the 3-person team. These assume 2-minute calls: shorter calls make FAST RESPONSE AI cheaper still, while much longer AI calls favor Quo's per-call packs.
Watch out: spam calls can rack up your bill. If you get spam calls, see what they add each month, at about 30 seconds a call.
150 spam calls a month, once your included calls or minutes are used. Quo charges $0.45 to $1.00 for each Sona call past your pack, depending on the pack. We charge $0.16 to $0.25 per AI minute, so a 30-second call costs about 8 to 13 cents.
