What happens if I run out of messaging credits?
If you run out of messaging credits, there are no overage fees. Your account is billed either $50 (less than 2,000 contacts), $100 (2,000-10,000 contacts), or $250 (>10,000 contacts). These new messaging credits rollover if you do not use them all in the month they incur. The reason we bill in these amounts is so that for example if you are performing a text blast, you have enough funds to complete the marketing action. If we only billed in the very tiny amounts (i.e. $0.0103 Per Txt Segment) then that would be a lot of charges on your bank account that most vendors do not want, they would prefer a lump sum.
How much are A2P Fees for SMS?
A2P, or Application-to-person messaging, is when a business sends automated SMS or MMS messages to a person or group of people. According to U.S. regulations, you must register your phone number as an A2P 10DLC campaign. Effective July 5, 2023, U.S. messages may begin being blocked if they are improperly registered. A2P 10DLC continues to evolve and our telephone partner, Twilio, continues to stay current with the updates. Thankfully, Aesthetix CRM manages the complexities of your A2P campaign registration. As of 5/30/2023, here are the current A2P fees:
- Campaign Vetting Fee (One-Time): $15
- Monthly campaign maintenance: Depending on your contact database's size and intended messaging usage, you will be registered as a Low Volume Mixed Campaign ($1.50 Per Month) OR a Standard Marketing Campaign ($10 Per Month).
- Carrier Campaign Fees – Please review here
The fees outlined above are subtracted from the account’s messaging credits.
Is the platform available for the UK, Canada, and Australia?
We currently offer the product in North America (USA, Canada, and Mexico), the United Kingdom, and Australia.
What are enhanced workflow actions and how much do they cost?
Enhanced workflow actions are our attempt to help you not use Zapier for some of the common uses like Google Sheets, Slack, Inbound webhooks, and Outbound webhooks. When using these enhanced workflow actions, you incur an additional charge. Pricing is outlined below. This is much more competitive than Zapier and you do not have to use them at all. None of our standard workflows are built with enhanced workflow actions.
- Enhanced worflow action - $0.013 per action
- $10 would get you 770 actions per month
What is Workflow AI by ChatGPT?
Workflow AI lets you use AI inside your automations without your own OpenAI API key, so a workflow can answer SMS messages and emails, detect intent, summarize or translate text, and create tasks. Premium Workflow AI Actions (Decision Maker, Intent Detection, Summarize Text, and Translate) are billed per execution and are not covered by the AI Employee Unlimited add-on. The GPT action, which sends a prompt to an external AI model, is billed on the tokens each prompt uses.
- Premium Workflow AI Action: $0.013 per execution
- GPT action (external AI models): $0.78 per 750,000 words input and $3.12 per 750,000 words output on GPT-4o Mini, billed on tokens

How do you offer unlimited contacts?
Unlike other CRM platforms, we don’t bake in the variable pricing of emails, SMS, and call minutes. You have a standard amount based on the package you select and what you don’t use one month rolls over to the next. If you happen to go over, you pay the overage fees highlighted above.
What kind of support do you offer?
We offer live chat support and a help center within the app. Our support team will answer every ticket within 24 hours with most tickets responded to within 2-4 hours.
Is the CRM HIPAA compliant?
Yes, all the data stored in the CRM is located on a server and database that meets the strict guidelines of HIPAA compliance. Emails are set up with HIPAA-grade encryption for transmitting sensitive materials via MailGun integration. However, how you use the platform specifically with PHI will dictate if the platform stays HIPAA compliant. You are responsible for using the platform in a HIPAA-compliant manner.
How are you cheaper than platforms like Hubspot and KEAP?
Hubspot, Keap, and many of our other competitors are large companies. We are a lean tech company that does not have investors breathing down our neck.
