What does "FREE for 60 days" actually mean?

Full Agency-tier access ($699/mo value) at zero subscription cost for the first 60 days. You only pay for actual voice usage at $0.21/min, knowledge bases at $12/KB/mo, and A2P 10DLC submissions at pass-through cost. Most beta operators pay between $50–$300/mo in usage during the free period.

There isn't a hidden one. We need 100 operators running real production traffic so we can stress-test the platform before public launch — we open the public tier 2–4 weeks after cohort #1 hits its KPIs. You get the platform free for 60 days; we get real-world signal. Cancel anytime. If you decide it's not for you, no clawback.

What does the 50% off deal mean?

Every Founders' Beta member gets a 50% off coupon, applied automatically when paid billing kicks in after the 60-day free trial. The coupon covers your first 2 months on whichever plan you choose (Starter, Business, or Agency). After those 2 months, list pricing applies. No 'first 10' race, no qualification hoops — every approved beta member gets the discount.

What is the Featured Partner spot?

Optional. We pick a small number of beta operators to co-promote at public launch — featured in launch comms, blog posts, podcasts, and the operator directory. No fee, opt-in only, requires a case-study agreement.

Who qualifies for the beta?

AI voice agency operators with 1+ active client OR a clear path to first client within 30 days. We're not gatekeeping by MRR — but pre-revenue applicants get routed to a different cohort with extra onboarding support.

What happens after 60 days?

Plan rate kicks in (Starter $149, Business $399, or Agency $699 — whichever you pick). The 50% off coupon applies automatically for your first 2 months on that plan, so the effective rate is half of list for those 2 months. 14-day notice before billing starts. Cancel anytime via dashboard.

How do you pick the 100?

First 100 qualifying applications get in. We close to new applications when 100 spots are taken — counter at the top of this page. After that, you're on the waitlist for the next cohort.

When does access start?

Cohort #1 is onboarding now. Approved applicants get a Calendly link within 24 hours of applying for a 30-min onboarding call, then platform access immediately after.

Do I have to commit to a launch date?

No. Set up at your pace. Most operators have their first agent live within 72 hours of onboarding, but some take a week. The 60-day free trial clock starts on platform access, not on first call.

What if I'm currently on Vapi / Retell / Synthflow?

Switching is the most common path into the beta. We'll help you migrate during onboarding — most operators are running parallel for the first 7 days, then cut over. No data lock-in: your contacts, call logs, and configurations export to CSV at any time.

why we’re running this beta

100 operators stress-testing real production traffic before public launch.

We don't need 1,000 signups for vanity. We need 100 operators running their actual book of business on Hermes for 30+ days, finding edge cases, telling us what's broken. In exchange, you get the platform free, half-off-for-life if you commit, and direct founder access while we ship.

Real production traffic

We need agents handling real calls under real client constraints. Synthetic load tests don't surface what 30 days of Tuesday-afternoon dental booking patterns reveal.

Direct founder access

Beta operators get a private Discord channel with the four founders. Bug reports, feature requests, and architecture questions get answered same-day during business hours.

Roadmap influence

Beta operators vote on the public-launch feature set. The integrations, white-label customizations, and pricing structure that ship at GA are shaped by what cohort #1 actually used.

Anonymized while we're in beta — these will fill with named operators and verified MRR growth as we approach public launch.
