How the billing units differ
Dialzara bills inbound calls by the minute. Its four inbound tiers list the allowances and extra-minute rates below. KaiCalls uses expected answered-call allowances in its current catalog. A call count alone cannot predict a minute-based bill.
| Monthly plan | Base fee | Included minutes | Extra minute |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business Lite | $29 | 60 | $0.48 |
| Business Pro | $99 | 220 | $0.45 |
| Business Plus | $199 | 500 | $0.40 |
| Business Elite | $349 | 1000 | $0.35 |
Done for You starts at $1,500 monthly; the complete managed-service total needs a quote. Minutes past the plan are billed at the extra-minute rate above. Dialzara's pricing page does not say whether a phone number is included, so confirm it for your order. The AI text agent and outbound calling are priced separately.

Pick Dialzara if

- You want a fully managed setup and can pay for their Done for You service.
Pick KaiCalls if

- You want booking and texting the caller back included in one flat price.
What 100 calls could cost at two call lengths
These scenarios use 100 answered calls and compare every published self-serve inbound tier. The formula is monthly fee plus extra minutes multiplied by the tier rate. They estimate consumed usage, excluding taxes, number charges, optional services and any recharge purchase minimum.
100 calls × 3 minutes = 300 minutes
Lowest modeled usage subtotal: Business Pro, $135.
- Business Pro: $135
- Business Lite: $144.20
- Business Plus: $199
- Business Elite: $349
100 calls × 6 minutes = 600 minutes
Lowest modeled usage subtotal: Business Plus, $239.
- Business Plus: $239
- Business Pro: $270
- Business Lite: $288.20
- Business Elite: $349
The same call count can produce a different lowest-cost Dialzara tier when conversations run longer. Choose a plan that meets your feature requirements; the lowest modeled subtotal does not establish eligibility or an invoice total.
What KaiCalls includes at each monthly price
KaiCalls prices below use the same current catalog as our pricing page. Match your expected volume to a plan before comparing the monthly fee.
| Plan | Monthly price | Expected allowance | Included numbers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kai Backup | $10/mo | ~20 Kai-answered calls/mo | 1 |
| Kai Line | $79/mo | ~170 Kai-answered calls/mo | 1 |
| Kai Office | $349/mo | ~800 Kai-answered calls/mo | 1 |
There are no per-minute overage charges. Your plan includes an expected monthly call allowance. If your call volume stays higher, we recommend the next plan and notify you before anything changes. You can choose to keep your current plan, and we move you back down if volume drops.
An expected call allowance is not an unlimited-call promise. Taxes, optional services and your existing carrier may add cost. Check the full KaiCalls pricing and plan terms before choosing.

Check the workflow beyond the tariff
Dialzara advertises transfers and calendar or CRM connections. Check the selected tier and connection requirements with each provider. A useful trial follows one task through capture, handoff and the next staff action.
- List the fields the caller must provide and the person who owns the next action.
- Check the exact calendar or CRM connection, permissions and any extra subscription needed.
- Try an unavailable recipient and a caller who corrects a phone number. Review what reaches your staff.
- Review notification delivery and the fallback when an integration cannot finish.
Compare on the same task and usage assumptions. A successful scripted test verifies that example; it does not establish bookings or revenue.
