FAQ
Common questions about SymplifiAI’s managed automation model, pricing, and how we compare to Zapier/Make-style tools.
Why not just use Zapier or Make?
Zapier/Make are great for simple automations, but they’re usage-based. As your lead volume and workflows grow, your bill typically grows too. SymplifiAI provides an agency-hosted platform with a predictable monthly fee — so growth doesn’t become a penalty.
What does “managed service” mean?
We host the automation platform for you and handle monitoring, backups, updates, and ongoing optimization. You don’t need internal technical staff to keep the system running reliably.
How does pricing work?
Most engagements are a one-time setup plus a monthly managed service. Usage-based costs (AI API, voice minutes, SMS) are typically passed through transparently at cost.
Can you do client-hosted deployments?
Yes — by request (e.g., internal IT requirements or compliance constraints). These are priced as higher one-time projects with optional support retainers.
