Bots, AI and integrations

* Callbell: USD prices from its page, per agent and with no monthly plan; the minimum term is a quarter paid in advance. We compare with Plus, the plan with the API and webhooks, for your whole team (minimum 3 agents), plus the $66-a-month bot module. We don't add the $22 a month per 10 agents that Callbell loads as message balance, since this comparison excludes Meta fees, nor its AI agent, which is paid from a separate balance with no published price per message.
