Platform Usage Charges
A clear breakdown of what costs what, so there are never any surprises.
Your Smart Scaling Suite subscription includes a powerful set of tools right out of the box. Some features carry small usage-based charges that only apply when you actually use them. Think of it like your phone plan: you have your base monthly rate, and certain extras are billed based on how much you use.
This page walks you through every possible charge, what it covers, and what you get for your money. Most businesses will only ever use a handful of these features, so do not worry about this list being long. You are only billed for what you actively use.
To help you plan, we have included a $10 benchmark for each usage-based charge so you can see exactly how far ten dollars goes.
Usage-Based Charges
Only billed when you actually use them. Most features cost a fraction of a cent.
Email Sending
Every time you send through Smart Scaling Suite whether it's a marketing campaign, a follow up sequence, or a one-off message to a client, is charged at a fraction of a cent per email. This covers the infrastructure that keeps your emails landing in inboxes instead of spam folders, including dedicated sending servers, authentication, and deliverability monitoring.
| WHAT | RATE |
|---|---|
| Per email sent | $0.0007 |
Approximately 14,285 emails sent
Email Verification
Before you send to a new list or re-engage old contacts, email verification checks each address to confirm it is real and active. This protects your sender reputation and keeps your bounce rates low, which directly affects whether your future emails reach inboxes. It is a small investment that saves you from wasted sends and potential blacklisting.
| WHAT | RATE |
|---|---|
| Per email verified | $0.0026 |
Approximately 3,846 verifications
Phone (Calls and Text Messages)
Smart Scaling Suite includes a built-in phone system so you can make calls, receive calls, and send text messages directly from your dashboard. No separate phone provider needed. Charges are based on actual usage, billed per-minute for calls and per message segment for texts.
| WHAT | RATE |
|---|---|
| Making a call | $0.0147 / min |
| Receiving a call | $0.0089 / min |
| Text message | $0.0087 / segment |

Workflow Premium Features
Workflows are the automation engine inside Smart Scaling Suite. They let you build sequences that trigger automatically: sending follow-up emails, assigning tasks, updating contact records, moving leads through your pipeline, and more. Premium workflow features go beyond basic automations and include advanced logic, conditional branching, and integrations with external tools. Each time a premium action runs inside a workflow, it counts as one execution.
| WHAT | RATE |
|---|---|
| Per premium execution | $0.0105 |
Approximately 950 executions
Content AI
Content AI is the built-in writing and image generation tool inside Smart Scaling Suite. Use it to draft emails, blog posts, social media captions, ad copy, or generate images for your content. It runs on the same AI models powering the tools you already know, and charges are based on the volume of words generated or images created.
| WHAT | RATE |
|---|---|
| Text generation | $0.0945 / 1,000 words |
| Image generation | $0.063 / image |
~105,820 words generated
OR ~160 images generated
Workflows: AI External Models
When your workflows use external AI models for tasks such as summarizing text, writing responses, or analyzing data, the charges are split into input (what you send to the model) and output (what the model sends back). These rates are extremely competitive and even a modest budget goes a very long way.
| WHAT | RATE |
|---|---|
| Input (words sent to AI) | $0.63 / 750k words |
| Output (words returned) | $2.52 / 750k words |
~11,904,762 input words
~2,976,190 output words

|---|---|
| Per WhatsApp interaction | $0.0777 |
Approximately 130 interactions
Reviews AI
Reviews AI automatically generates thoughtful, on-brand responses to your Google and Facebook reviews. Instead of spending time crafting individual replies (or worse, leaving reviews unanswered), the AI drafts a response you can approve and post. Responding to reviews consistently improves your local SEO and shows potential clients that you care about feedback.
| WHAT | RATE |
|---|---|
| Per review response | $0.0105 |
Approximately 950 responses

Monthly Add-On Services
Optional subscriptions that expand what Smart Scaling Suite can do for your business.
WhatsApp Subscription
$29.99 / month
To use WhatsApp messaging inside Smart Scaling Suite, you need an active WhatsApp subscription. This gives you full access to send and receive WhatsApp messages from your dashboard, set up automations, and interface WhatsApp into your workflows. The per-message usage charges listed above apply on top of this subscription.
AI Employee
$127 / month
The AI Employee is an always on team member that can handle conversations across channels, respond to leads, book appointments, and follow up with prospects. It works across chat, email, SMS, and social media, acting on your voice. Based on the rules and tone you set. For businesses that need round-the-clock responsiveness without hiring additional staff, this is one of the most impactful tools in the platform.
Branded Client Portal App
$80 / month
Give your clients a branded mobile app where they can access their portal, view course content, check appointment details, and communicate with you. The app carries your brand name and logo, so it looks and feels like your own custom-built application. This is a standout feature for coaches, course creators, and service providers who want to deliver a polished client experience.
WordPress Hosting
$24.99 / month
If you prefer to run your website on WordPress rather than the built in website builder, Smart Scaling Suite offers managed WordPress hosting. Your site is hosted, maintained, and secured all within the platform, so you get the flexibility of WordPress without needing a separate hosting provider.
Dedicated IP Address for Email Sending
$88.50 / month
A dedicated IP address gives you full control over your email sending reputation. Instead of sharing an IP with other senders (where their behavior could affect your deliverability), your emails go out on an IP that belongs solely to your account. This is recommended for businesses sending high volumes of email or anyone who needs the highest possible inbox placement rates.
SEO (Powered by Search Atlas)
$97 / month
This add-on gives you access to a full suite of SEO tools powered by Search Atlas, directly inside Smart Scaling Suite. Run site audits, track keyword rankings, analyze competitors, and get actionable recommendations to improve your search visibility. For businesses that rely on organic traffic, this replaces a standalone SEO subscription that would typically cost the same or more elsewhere.
