Limits worth knowing in Talkable
- No prices are published: the pricing page sorts plans by annual revenue band ($4-20m, $20-40m, $50m+) and asks you to talk to sales.
- The pricing page says there is an implementation fee equal to the monthly plan price, and a 12-month agreement is required.
- The lowest revenue band it lists is $4 million a year, so it is not aimed at very small shops.
- Plan tiers differ mainly in how much customer success time is included, such as check-ins, campaign placements and services hours.
