dialzara.comPricing FAQs, 'How are minutes calculated?'

Past your allowance

Yes

Each plan publishes a per-minute overage rate ($0.48 Lite down to $0.35 Elite), but extra minutes come through auto-recharge or a la carte purchase; if minutes hit zero, callers go straight to voicemail.

Their words

We'll email you when your AI receptionist has 15 minutes left, so you can turn on auto-recharge or buy extra minutes a la carte. If it hits zero, callers go straight to voicemail. Overage is $0.48/min on Lite, $0.45/min on Pro, $0.40/min on Plus, and $0.35/min on Elite. Any additional minutes purchased do not expire and carry forward until used.

dialzara.comPricing FAQs, 'What happens when I exceed included minutes?'

Spam calls not billed

Yes

Known spam numbers are blocked automatically by default, there is a manual block list, and the vendor states spam and wrong-number calls do not use plan minutes.

Their words

Plans include 60–500 minutes depending on tier. Spam and wrong-number calls do not consume the plan.

Blind transfer to your team is on every plan, Business Lite included; warm transfer, where the person is briefed before the caller is put through, starts at Business Pro.

Urgent calls escalated

Partlyfrom Business Pro

Emergency intents can be escalated by warm transfer to an on-call mobile, but escalation and warm transfer are both marked absent on Business Lite and start at Business Pro.

Their words

Configure the AI to recognize emergency intents (after-hours plumbing leaks, urgent medical concerns, legal arrests or accidents, broken HVAC in extreme weather) and immediately escalate via warm transfer to an on-call teammate's mobile

Human receptionists as backup

No vendor staff answer calls the AI cannot handle: the fallback is your own instructions or a live transfer to your own teammate.

Their words

Give your agent specific instructions for that scenario. For example: "If the caller asks something you can't answer, tell them you'll pass it to a specialist who will follow up." You can also enable live-call transfer to a human teammate on request.

Every plan, Business Lite included, takes messages with your own custom questions, and the screening prompt lets you define qualifying questions such as budget and timeline.

Trying it, starting and leaving

4 answers

Free trial or free plan

Partly

A 7-day free trial is offered on every inbound voice plan; there is no permanent free plan, so it is a trial rather than a free tier.

Their words

dialzara.comPricing & Billing, 'Is there a free trial?'

Yes

Every inbound plan has its own 'Try' button into a self-serve sign-up and the vendor says most businesses are live in about 15 minutes without a sales call; only outbound plans route to sales.

Their words

Most businesses are live in about 15 minutes: answer onboarding questions, import website content or docs for knowledge, test via chat or phone, then forward your number when ready.
