Chisme is a pay-as-you-go service on a month-to-month basis. No contracts, cancel any time.

Upon activation of a Chisme trial, you will not be charged the chosen subscription fee before the free trial ends. Upon free trial activation there will be a charge to your credit or debit card in an amount of or near $1 as a proof of funds charge that will transact but will be refunded back into your account upon approval. Free trial does not include any additional costs incurred such as telephony and email fees.

As a user, you are responsible for self-cancellation, updating payment methods and managing your subscription. You can easily update your subscription or the card being used for your subscription by submitting an email to billing@chisme.io. To update the card on file for telephony fees you can navigate to your account > Settings > Company Billing and updating your card.

Telephony & Email Usage

Telephony services such as phone calls, voicemails, sms (text messages) and WhatsApp messages incur fees billed to a balance on your account. Upon initial usage of telephony and email services your card on file will be billed $25 and retained as a balance on the account for which future fees are deducted against.

Should your balance threshold decrease below $10.00 your card will automatically be charged $25 to refill you balance. Accounts with high volume of usage may be subject to larger refill amounts as to reduce the number of refill transactions taking place on your card.

Usage costs can be viewed in your account by navigating to Settings > Company Billing.

You can view your credit balance any time under ‘Settings > Company Billing”. This charge is because of the text/call/email billing system set up as thresholds (so you do not get charged every individual text/call/email. As you begin sending texts/calls/emails, you will slowly see your remaining credit balance decrease as you send campaigns.

Thresholds for text/call/email billing can be customized inside of your “Settings > Company Billing” to your liking and work as so:

When a user preloads their account with X amount of dollars for text/call/email credits, when the included credits are surpassed it will begin to deduct credits until the price of using those credits hits a “threshold” that you set, you will then be re-charged based off of how much you set to be billed when your text/call/email credits dollar amount threshold is met.
