Plans and Minute Packages
Choose a plan and add extra minutes when you need them.
Before you begin
- Open the Babelbeez dashboard in your browser.
- Have a payment method ready if you plan to upgrade or buy add‑on minutes.
What this includes
- Subscription plan: a monthly bundle of minutes and features.
- Add‑on minute packages: one‑time purchases that increase your balance.
How minutes work
- You have two balances:
- Base minutes — included with your plan each month.
- Add‑on minutes — extra minutes you buy as needed.
- Minutes are used in this order:
- Base minutes first
- Add‑on minutes after base runs out
- If you cancel your subscription, your current plan remains until the end of the period.
