What’s metered
Exact rates per tier are on the Plans page.
Reading your usage
Mid-period pace
Halfway through the period, you should be around half your allowance. Well ahead of that means you’ll go over — worth knowing before the invoice.
Escalation rate
A rising share of calls transferring to a human usually means a knowledge gap, not a busier month. See QA & learning.
Overages aren’t a penalty
Going slightly over costs less than jumping a tier early. Move up when your overages consistently exceed the gap between tiers — not the first month you exceed your allowance.Overages are calculated and billed at the end of the billing period, itemized on your invoice by category. See Billing.
Bringing usage down
If your call count is higher than expected, the cause is usually one of:Outbound campaigns at volume
Outbound campaigns at volume
Every outbound attempt is a call. A large campaign will move the number materially — budget for it before launching. See Campaigns.
Repeat callers
Repeat callers
The same customer calling three times about one job is three calls. Often it means the first call didn’t resolve — read those transcripts.
Spam and robocalls
Spam and robocalls
These reach your number like anything else. If the volume is significant, tell info@recepta.ai.
Testing
Testing
Your own test calls count. Worth knowing during a heavy configuration week, though it’s rarely material.
Over the API
Usage is exposed via the API, so you can pull it into your own dashboards or alert when you cross a threshold. Combine with thecall.ended webhook if you want real-time counting.
