- No published appointment booking
- The vendor reserves the right to introduce caps later
- Its Teams tier, the only plan that mentions call routing, is not yet purchasable
About Clara
Clara is genuinely flat. There is no included allowance and no overage rate on any plan, and its Fair Usage Policy says why in its own words: "We do not currently enforce fixed numeric caps." What the higher tier buys is business-trained AI, automated text follow-ups, personal contact exclusion and priority support, not more capacity.
It publishes a separate rate card per locale, in pounds for the UK and dollars for the US, so a buyer is quoted in their own currency rather than a converted one. There is no Australian locale. A Teams tier is advertised as coming soon and is not purchasable, so it is not listed here.
