Transparent by Design

No Pricing Games. No Surprise Fees.

Most answering services make you sit through a discovery call before showing prices. Then the real cost appears later through setup fees, per-minute charges, message fees, transfer fees, and long contracts.

Zayup keeps it simple.

Our pricing is published. Our trial is paid, so both sides take the engagement seriously. Our plans are month-to-month with 2 weeks notice for cancellation. What you see is what you pay.

Setup charges that add $200–$500 before your first call is even answered.

Common Hidden Fee

Per-minute overage fees that make the final bill unpredictable every month.

2-Week Trial

Try Zayup at $8/Hour for 2 Weeks.
