How much does a notary answering service cost?
Our pricing is transparent and flexible. Plans start as low as $24.95/mo, which includes all of our available features. The only real difference between each plan is the amount of calls per plan. Learn more about Upfirst's pricing plans.
Can you integrate with my calendar or scheduling system?

Do spam calls count against my monthly calls?
No, spam calls and robocalls don't count against your monthly call quota. The same goes for calls that last under 15 seconds or calls where no one speaks. Our goal for you is to only pay for real conversations with your callers.
