You have the option to set auto-renew a service by utilizing the available balance from your Wallet Wallet Amount is non-transferable and there will no refund processed for any unused funds in the Wallet. Wallet don’t have any validity or expiry date |
| Pay As You Go Plan | This plan is suitable for testing the services where you will be billed for each interaction i.e sending and receive a message consider as 2 interaction and will be billed accordingly Adon’s are not available with Pay As You Go Plan so if you would like to get Adon’s like WhatsApp Channel then you need to pay monthly rental as mentioned in the pricing page |

| Adon’s | Base plans offer only limited channels and features like in the base plan only Facebook Messenger is available as a channel, so if you would like to add more services into a base plan then you have to make use of our Adon’s Our most popular Adon’s are WhatsApp Web Automation & Zoho CRM |
| Contacts / Subscribers | In the base plan, you are limited to the number of Contacts / Subscribers in a month. |

Adon Charges
Adon charges vary depends on the plan you opt for, the cost of the adon will go down when you opt for a higher plan, for example if you want to get WhatsApp Web Automation service with Unlimited Plan ($35) then it costs you only $14 per month wherein the Small Plan ($5) it costs you $24

Pay As You Plan Vs Base Plans
Pay as you go plan is suitable for testing the services so it doesn’t include any Adon’s so if you would like to make use of Adon’s like WhatsApp Web Automation, Zapier then it costs you extra per month apart from the Interactions Charges
So if you would like to Activate WhatsApp Web Automation and Zapier in the Pay As you go plan it costs you $29 (WhatsApp Web Automation) + $20 + $0..005 per message you send or receive so if you want to send and receive 1000 messages in a month then it costs you the total as below;
| Item | Charges |
| WhatsApp Web Automation Adon | $29 |
| Zoho CRM Adon | $29 |
| Billing for 1000 Interaction 1000 x $0..005 | $5 |
| Total | $63 |
When you send / receive more messages your billing will increase in this plan
Base Plan offers you with free interactions every month and Adon charges are discounted based on the base plan you opt for, let’s see the below example for better understanding;
| Item | Small Plan | Large Plan | Unlimited |
| Monthly Rental | $5 | $25 | $35 |
| WhatsApp Web Automation Adon | $24 | $19 | $14 |
| Zoho CRM Adon | $24 | $19 | $14 |
| Free Interactions & Contacts | 500 Contacts / 2500 Free Interactions | 2000 Contacts / 25000 Free Interactions | 5000 Contacts / Unlimited Interactions |
| Total | $53 | $63 | $63 |
As you can see the difference between each plan is not much and the Unlimited plan offers you more value when you want to activate more Adon’s
