Entry price
From roughly £75 per month per account.
What an SME realistically pays
£75 - £400 per month per account plus metered SMS, email and AI usage - usage costs can exceed the licence.
Minimum seats
None; priced by account
Contract terms
Monthly, with annual discounts available
Published tiers
Starter
≈ £75 / month
Unlimited users, three sub-accounts
Unlimited
≈ £235 / month
Unlimited sub-accounts
Agency Pro
≈ £390 / month
White-label and SaaS mode
Common hidden costs
  • Metered SMS, email and voice usage, which routinely exceeds the licence
  • AI feature consumption charges
  • Twilio and Mailgun accounts billed separately
  • Agency plan required for white-label
05

Ecosystem and integrations

Marketplace
Growing app marketplace plus a large template and snapshot economy
Key native integrations
Twilio for SMS and voiceMailgunStripeGoogle and Facebook advertisingZapier
UK implementation partners
Effectively none. A US-centric agency community rather than an implementation channel.
06

Customisation and extensibility

Configurable without developers
  • Funnel and landing page builder
  • Workflow automation
  • Custom fields and pipelines
  • White-label branding and domains
Where the ceiling sits
High in breadth, shallow in depth. You can assemble almost any marketing motion; you cannot model a complex sales process.
07

Implementation reality

Typical time to value
2 - 8 weeks
Is self-implementation realistic?
Yes, and expected. Most users buy snapshots from other agencies to accelerate it.
Migration considerations
Basic imports. Migrating telephony numbers and message history takes planning.
08

Support and success

Included as standard
24/7 chat and email; community support is very active
Costs extra
Priority support on higher tiers
Documentation and community
Documentation is patchy but the user community produces a great deal of practical material.
09

Scalability and lock-in

Behaviour as you grow
Designed for many sub-accounts rather than many seats. Scales sideways better than upward.
How hard it is to leave
High. Funnels, workflows and phone numbers are all tied to the platform.
10

Strengths and watch-outs

Strengths
  • Account-level pricing with unlimited users
  • Very broad marketing tooling
  • White-label capability is unique at this price
Watch-outs
  • Built for agencies, not end businesses
  • Metered usage costs are easy to underestimate
  • Sprawling, inconsistent product surface
11

Bottom line for an SME

A strong tool for agencies and funnel-led marketing. Not the right shape for a conventional SME sales team.
