Flat pricing.
No per-minute games.

Answering services love billing tricks: per call, per transfer, per "patch." We charge a flat monthly price, publish the overage rate, and put the guarantee in writing.

What the minutes mean: a typical answered call runs 2 to 4 minutes, so 300 minutes covers roughly 75 to 150 calls a month.

The pilot guarantee, in writing

$199 flat for 30 days. If not one Argus-answered caller books work with you, the pilot is free: full refund, and we switch your forwarding off ourselves. It never auto-converts to a paid plan. On day 31 you pick a plan or walk away with your results report, and either answer is fine with us.

Billing, in plain English

What's included in every plan

Setup: included, done with you in a 20-minute call. No setup fee, no "activation" fee.
Recordings, intake texts, daily summaries, and reports: included.
Spam calls, wrong numbers, and misdials: never billed.

Minutes and overages

Only talk time on real calls counts against your included minutes.
Go past your plan's minutes and the rate is $0.40 per minute, itemized line by line on your invoice. No overage "tiers," no penalty rates.
Growing shop using way more minutes? When a bigger plan gets cheaper than your overages, we'll tell you ourselves.

Canceling

Month-to-month, always. Cancel anytime, effective at the end of your billing cycle.
One email does it: [email protected]. No retention call, no cancellation fee.
Your forwarding off-code works the moment you dial it, so your line is back to normal whenever you say, even before the paperwork catches up.

Billing questions

Anything on an invoice look off? Write [email protected] and our billing team answers the same business day. If we got it wrong, we fix the invoice. No arguing, no runaround.
