Labor rates

Work outside the monthly agreement, on a sliding scale. The better the plan, the lower the hourly rate — Platinum takes labor to zero on everything but after-hours emergencies.

Hourly labor rates by plan level. $0 means the work is already covered by your agreement.
Type of work Platinum Gold Silver Bronze À la carte

Rush onsite service Same-day dispatch during business hours, ahead of the scheduled queue. Included $80/hr $160/hr $200/hr $240/hr
Emergency — after hours, weekends, holidays P1 and P2 work outside the maintenance window. This is the one rate no plan takes to zero — somebody is getting out of bed. $125/hr $160/hr $200/hr $240/hr $260/hr

Maintenance window: Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM PST

Emergency work outside the window is never free at any level: it starts at $125 per hour.

How we save you money

Straight talk

Costs us nothing — so it costs you nothing

VoIP, website hosting and remote access run on infrastructure we already own and staff. There is no incremental cost to us in adding you to them, so on a bundled plan we include them at no charge and your total drops. Most providers sell all three as line items.

  • VoIP phone service

    Included at no charge on a bundled plan. Your total drops by whatever the rest of the market charges for it.

  • Website and basic email hosting

    Included at no charge on a bundled plan. Your total drops by whatever the rest of the market charges for it.

  • Remote access for every covered user

    Included at no charge on a bundled plan. Your total drops by whatever the rest of the market charges for it.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a long-term contract?

There's a service agreement with a defined term, because onboarding is real work we invest up front. What there isn't: hidden auto-escalation, hostage credentials or a penalty for asking what something costs.

What happens if we grow mid-term?

Per-unit pricing means adding a user or a site adjusts the monthly figure by exactly the published rate. No renegotiation, no surprise tier jump.

How does hardware get billed?

Reimbursed hardware purchases carry a 30% markup, stated in the agreement. You can also buy your own and we'll stage and support it.

What's included in the monthly labor?

Each agreement includes a monthly block of support time (0.25 hours per covered user). Beyond that, work bills at your discounted contract rate rather than list.

What is included in the VoIP price?

Auto attendant, hunt groups, business-hours routing, voicemail-to-email, softphone apps and number porting come with the line. Call recording, SMS, CRM integrations and physical handsets are options in the agreement, and our own licensing and carrier costs on them are absorbed rather than billed through.

When are the phones free?

Handsets are included at no charge on any plan carrying more than 80% of the available options.

Who owns the equipment and licenses?

You do. Unless you specifically lease it from us, everything you buy is yours outright — hardware, licenses, domains and data — purchased at the best price we can source. We hold nothing hostage and we carry no balance on your assets.

Let's take IT off your plate.

A free onsite consultation: we assess your network and security, flag the risks we find, and show you exactly what it costs to fix them.
