The same growth, a smoother bill
Watch monthly spend climb with usage, and see the moment a rigid plan jumps in price.
Modeled from Goodcall's own published pricing and CoveredLine's own pricing, rounded to the nearest dollar. Average call length assumed at 3 minutes, with 1.25 calls per unique caller per month, 1.5 texts per unique caller per month and 0.5 website chats per unique caller per month, at one location with one phone number. A charge a provider does not publish is counted as $0. Goodcall bills unique customers, so a repeat caller counts once, at its plan’s own rate past the allowance. It publishes no website chat and no per-text price. CoveredLine includes website chat on every plan and bills texts past a plan's allowance at 5 cents each.
