Questions
How much does it cost?+
Nothing to start and nothing each month. When the agent recovers an overdue invoice, we charge 10% of the amount paid. Invoices paid on or before their due date never cost anything. There's no cap, no minimum and no contract.
How do I pay the fee?+
Only when an overdue invoice is paid. If your customer pays online through your payment page, the fee comes out of that payment automatically. Otherwise we send a bill for our 10% the moment the payment shows up in your books. You don't need a card to start; add one later and fees are charged to it automatically.
What counts as recovered?+
Any payment on an invoice that was already past due while the agent was working on it.
Why is it free?+
Because the work is done by an AI agent, not a call center. We only make money when you get paid, so we're on your side.
What if it doesn't recover anything?+
Then you pay nothing. Ever.
Do I need a demo or a sales call?+
No. Sign up, connect your books and the agent starts in minutes. If you have a question, reply to any email and a real person answers.
