GENERAL

Can I try Channels before I buy a plan?

Of course. We offer a 7-day free trial. Try out our software before you decide on the right plan. It takes only 5 minutes to set up, and no credit card is required!

How does the pricing work?

It's pretty simple. Your total monthly charge consists of a chosen plan and paid numbers fee if you chose such. The actual cost of a subscription depends on the numbers of active user seats and additional paid phone numbers.

What payment methods can I use?

At the moment we accept all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

PLANS & BALANCE

How do I choose a plan?

You can select the plan in the top right dropdown menu. Simply enter the ‘My Account’ tab and click on the 'Upgrade' button to see all of our available plans. Choose the one that best corresponds with your business needs and put the number of users you’ll want to have active access to your account. Your final cost will depend on this selection, as each plan gives you a base number of users and there is an additional cost for each user over the base limit. You can also choose to be billed annually, which will significantly drop the average monthly cost of your subscription.

If you’ve never entered your card details, you’ll be prompted to do it now. Once you’re done, click on the ‘Buy’ button to confirm your selection and your plan will become active.

Can I change a plan after I sign up?

Absolutely. Whether you're growing or scaling back, you can change your plan at any point in time.

Change your subscription details in ‘My account’. In this section, you’ll find your current plan, as well as the number of users for whose active access you need to pay. To modify your current settings please use the ‘Change’ button.

Afterwards, type the end amount of users in 'How many users?' window and choose the desired plan with 'Subscribe' or 'Modify' button.

How do I check my account balance?

You can always check your balance in ‘My account’. It is displayed in the ‘Balance’ section, together with an option to set email notifications whenever your balance drops below certain amount. Enter your address and you’ll be always up to date with the state of your account funds.

You may also set up automatic balance top up whenever it drops below $10. To do so, please activate the option with the toggle, put the desired top up amount and confirm with a 'Save' button.

How do I add funds to my account?
