Prices are in Canadian dollars, before GST or HST, which the invoice adds by your business's province.
Every bundle includes:
Personalization. A message for each lead or one take for everyone, at the same price.
The follow-up text. One text after each delivered voicemail is included in that voicemail's credit. Replies cost nothing.
Billing on delivery. A credit is spent only on a delivered voicemail. A voicemail that comes back returns its credit to your balance on its own.
Credits that last 12 months from the day you buy them, at the rate of the bundle they came in.
The smallest campaign is 25 contacts. There is no subscription and no contract. The one monthly charge is the campaign line, a local Canadian number your customers call and text back, at $10 a month.
Why prices differ so much between services
Voicemail drop services price in very different ways, and the per-message figure alone doesn't compare them. Ask five questions:
Delivered or attempted? Some services charge for every attempt, delivered or not. A rate per delivered voicemail is the one that maps to what you get.
One recording or a message for each person? A tool that plays one recording to a whole list costs far less per message than one that speaks each person's own details. The two are different products, so compare like with like.
Whose voice? A voice clone of your own voice or a team member's is a different product from a stock recording.
What comes back? A campaign line that takes the callbacks and texts, matched to the campaign, is the part that turns a voicemail into a booked appointment.
Canadian rules? A service built for the United States may not hold Canadian calling hours, Canadian numbers only, or the CRTC's consent rules for you. See Are voicemail drops legal in Canada?
What a real campaign spent
One dealership's first three campaigns dialed 911 voicemails. 736 were delivered (81%) and spent a credit each; the 175 that came back returned theirs to the balance, at no charge. On average, about 75% of voicemails are delivered, measured across real campaigns. No single campaign is promised a rate: what a list does depends on the list.
