No cliff when you run out of included minutes.
Phonely’s plans include a minute bucket, then charge more per minute once you exceed it. Our rate doesn’t change based on how much you use it.

Where Phonely is ahead of us, or simply doing something different, we’ve said so.
Pricing
Model
AheadUs: Same rate every minute: 2¢/min Lite, 5¢/min Standard or 9¢/min Pro (your own carrier)
Phonely: Free (100 min), Starter $50/mo (250 min), Pro $150/mo (750 min), Enterprise as low as $0.05/min — but overage on the lower tiers runs $0.25–$0.35/min, higher than the plan rate
Their Enterprise floor ($0.05/min) is genuinely cheaper than our Standard rate if you qualify for it, and our Lite tier is not available yet — the advantage is at the self-serve tiers.

This is Phonely’s own claim, not independently load-tested by us or, as far as we found, by anyone else.
Phonely figures come from their public pricing page and trust center as of September 2026. Their latency claim (182ms to first token) is self-reported in their own marketing and not third-party verified.
