PayCall pricing

Two ways to pay, both without a subscription: pay per minute with prepaid credit, or call as much as you need with an Unlimited Calling Pass. Unanswered calls are always free.

$7.90 for 3 hours (calls end when the pass ends)

Prepaid credit: $10.00 · $20.00

  • Billed per second
  • Credit never expires
  • Call didn't help? Refund it within 24 hours, up to $3.00

Unlimited Calling Pass

For long holds and calls that take several tries.

24 hours
$14.90
3 days
$24.90

  • Up to 3 hours per call, one call at a time

Which one costs less?

Typical hotline calls. With credit, the cost depends on how long you wait and how long you talk.

CallPer minuteUnlimited Calling Pass
Short call: 10 min on hold, 5 min talking$2.85Cheaper$14.9024 hours
Bank fraud line: 1 h on hold, 20 min talking$13.20Cheaper$14.9024 hours
Tax office: 2 h on hold, 30 min talking$22.50$14.9024 hoursCheaper
3 calls in 3 days, each 1 h on hold and 15 min talking$33.75$24.903 daysCheaper

Rule of thumb: the 24-hour pass pays off once you expect more than about 166 minutes on hold in total, or sooner if you also talk for a while.

Questions about pricing

Is there a subscription?

No. Credit and passes are one-time purchases. Nothing renews automatically.

What happens to my credit while a pass is running?

It stays untouched. Calls on the pass cost nothing, and your credit is used again after the pass ends.

What if the pass ends during a call?

A call you started before the pass ended stays covered, for up to 3 hours.

Which numbers can I call?

U.S. and Canadian numbers, including 1-800 and other toll-free numbers. Emergency numbers (911, 112) and premium-rate numbers are not supported.

Does credit expire?

No. Credit stays in your account until you use it.

Can someone else pay for me if my card is blocked?

Yes. You create a pay link and send it by WhatsApp or SMS, for example. The other person pays by card without an account, and the credit or Unlimited Calling Pass goes to your PayCall account. The link works for 24 hours and can be paid once.
