UAT Partner Pricing Policy

Built on the four-category model proposed on November 3, 2025 and agreed to by all stakeholders. Updated August 2026.

UAT partners only

This pricing policy covers Connie UAT partners only. Commercial pricing and terms will be published before public launch.

The pricing model

A UAT partner pays for their monthly network usage, plus three flat monthly charges that keep the platform running, keep it improving, and support their team.

1 Β· What you use
Direct Usage
varies

Changes month to month with your actual use across every active channel. For UAT only, we pass through our wholesale costs with no markup β€” platform time per user, voice minutes, fax pages, carrier fees. Billed monthly on real usage, payment net 30.

2 Β· Keeps the platform running
Indirect Usage
$100

Cloud hosting, security and HIPAA infrastructure, the phone-system core. The whole pool is $481 a month (June 2026); five or more partners cover it.

3 Β· Keeps the platform improving
Platform Services
$550

Pays back what built Connie and funds the development that continues. In NSS’s books this is the Professional Services line.

4 Β· Helps your team
Support Services
$200

24 onboarding hours plus 5 free work-order hours, then the same ticketing system that runs Connie support today.

Monthly bill = usage + $850 flat
All-in, typically $950–1,200 a month Β· usage trued up against carrier invoices yearly

What UAT partners get

🌐

Wholesale network pricing

Agent access is billed by the hour and shared across your whole team rather than per named seat. Hourly is cheaper whenever the average person is on the system less than 150 hours a month β€” for teams of part-timers and volunteers, nearly always. Our own June 2026 bill: 192 active hours across 25 users cost $192.36; two named seats alone would have cost $300.

🀝

24 hours of Connie Premium Support

Eight hours a month across your first three months. Unused hours roll forward through your UAT engagement. No new hours accrue after month three β€” the bank is what it is.

πŸ› οΈ

5 free work-order hours

Want something built just for you? That is a work order, quoted in writing and approved before any work starts, at $250 an hour discounted to $150 during the pilot. Your first five hours are free.

🎟️

The same support desk everyone uses

For everything day to day you work through the same ticketing system that runs Connie support today β€” the operation every partner shares, not a side channel.

Billing cycle

  1. 1Billed at the beginning of each month β€” flat charges in advance, usage in arrears. Payment net 30 from the invoice date. See a sample invoice.
  2. 2Annual usage true-up at fiscal year end. We lay your billed usage beside the carrier invoices behind it, so the pass-through is something you can check rather than something we assert. The flat charges do not true up β€” that is what makes them flat.

Estimating your cost before you sign

The intake wizard collects what an estimate needs β€” your operating hours by day, headcount by role, and channel volumes β€” and produces an estimate across all four categories. The estimate is simple because the pricing is simple: only Direct Usage varies. Estimate your usage and add $850.

How nonprofits can take part

The Connie UAT pilot is by invitation. To request an invitation, or to suggest a nonprofit that might be a good fit, complete the interest form. A member of the Connie team will follow up with more information and next steps.

Where these numbers come from. Connie’s June 2026 monthly close; June and July 2026 Twilio invoices checked against current published rates; the four-category model and the work-order rate from stakeholder correspondence of November 3 and November 11, 2025. Full working papers are held with Connie finance.
