- Automated activity, bulk texts, sequences and toll-free calls are billed by usage, plus carrier fees of $0.005 to $0.015 per text segment.
- Local Presence is $300 a month, and managed A2P 10DLC registration is a $500 one-time fee.
- Salesforce integration is limited to xPro; extra analytics minutes cannot be bought, so heavy users must move to xPro.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Aloware you would be making phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $360 a year.

- You could not: Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- You could not: Phone numbers that change for each visitor so every call is traced to its source.
- You could not: Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
