Pricing structure

Understand how the system is priced before requesting a proposal.

Heritage starts with a managed phone system, then adds only the services that solve a defined need. The billing units and cost drivers below help you understand the structure without suggesting a price before the system is scoped.

The proposal includes only the selected and verified configuration.

Billing units

The unit changes with the service.

These units explain the structure, not the final amount or a promise that every option fits every configuration.

Foundation

Managed phone-system users

Per user/month

Heritage Connect is included for eligible users as a way to access the managed phone system. It is not standalone phone service. Phones, installation, porting, taxes, and other charges are identified according to the approved proposal.

Messaging

Business messaging services

Required foundation plus selected service

All Heritage SMS services require the applicable $4 Brand registration, $40 Brand vetting, $40 Campaign vetting, $10/month Campaign, $2 per telephone number/month SMS enablement, and $7 per 500 messages. Heritage Connect is included for an eligible enabled phone-system user. CloudMessage is $15 or $25 per user/month. SMS Scheduling Agent tiers are $40 for one, $90 for up to three, and $125 for up to five connected schedules/month. SMS API is an enterprise offering with scoped pricing.

Reliability

Managed edge and alternate paths

Per location and configuration

Connectivity and cellular charges depend on the selected path. Manually activated cellular recovery can involve provisioning, activation, and usage charges; it is not automatic failover. A second wired carrier remains a separate cost driver.

Reporting & recording

Visibility and configured handling

Recurring add-ons and usage

Enhanced reporting is a recurring add-on. Recording cost depends on recording scope, retention, and storage. Transcription and analysis use a per processed minute billing unit; exact rates and the approved workflow are proposal-specific.

Integrations

Connected workflows

Recurring integration charge

Standard supported integrations do not carry a separate initial Heritage build fee when adequate API documentation and customer-authorized access are available. Configured geographic call routing carries setup and ongoing service charges. Third-party fees, migration, cleanup, and unusually large custom applications remain separate.

Custom workflows

Analysis, scoring, and campaigns

Confirmed scope plus usage where applicable

Always-on custom analysis can combine recurring and usage charges. Custom scoring uses a base plus processed-minute structure, and advanced campaign tracking is a recurring add-on based on confirmed scope. No amount is published here.

What a proposal clarifies

Separate the service from its cost drivers.

A scoped proposal should identify what is recurring, what is one-time or project-based, what varies with usage, and what is supplied or billed by another party.

  • Recurring serviceUsers, locations, selected add-ons, and maintained integrations.
  • One-time or project workApproved equipment, installation, transition, migration, or custom work.
  • Usage and configurationMessaging, cellular use, recording scope and retention, storage, and processed minutes where applicable.
  • Other chargesTaxes, regulatory fees, hardware, carrier circuits, and third-party charges are identified when they apply.

Configuration matters

Your proposal reflects the system you actually need.

Example totals can obscure important differences in users, locations, equipment, connectivity, usage, and optional services. Heritage documents the applicable assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, and commercial terms in a scoped proposal.

Next step

Define the environment before assigning amounts.

Share the users, locations, calling, messaging, continuity, reporting, recording, and workflow requirements that need to be priced.
