Billing Details and Who PATLive Fits.
Billing rules that change the real PATLive bill, and the businesses PATLive genuinely suits.
Hidden costs and billing gotchas
- Published prices do not include taxes and fees. Per PATLive's help center, taxes, talk-time overage and regulatory fees are billed in arrears after the month.
- PATLive bills the first minute of each call in full, then in 6-second increments, so many short calls add up faster than their talk time suggests.
- Overage ranges from $1.49 to $2.99 per minute; the pay-as-you-go plan bills every minute at $2.99.
- In its favor, PATLive is month to month with no contract, and you can change or cancel plans anytime.
Who PATLive is best for
- Businesses that want live US-based receptionists at one of the lower entry prices among human services.
- Very low-volume lines where the $49 pay-as-you-go plan covers occasional calls.
- Teams that also want live chat or outbound calling from the same provider.
A Per-Call Alternative to PATLive.
