Billing & Usage Terms

Last Updated: 24 August 2025

These Billing & Usage Terms explain how BlueCallio measures, calculates, and charges for usage-based services.

1Usage-Based Pricing

BlueCallio charges customers based on the services they consume according to the rates displayed on the applicable pricing page.

There are no subscription fees or up-front costs — you only pay for what you use.

2Participant-Minute Billing

For communication services billed per participant-minute, one participant using the applicable service for one minute equals one participant-minute.

For example:

  • Audio: 2 participants × 10 minutes = 20 audio participant-minutes
  • Video: 3 participants × 20 minutes = 60 video participant-minutes

This is important because the per-minute rate (e.g. ₹0.80 for video) applies per participant, not per room.

3Different Communication Types

BlueCallio may apply different rates to:

  • Audio
  • Video
  • Screen sharing

The applicable rates are displayed on the pricing page and may vary by currency, region, product, or service.

Current rates: Audio ₹0.20/participant-min, Video ₹0.80/participant-min, Screen share + ₹0.10/participant-min on top of Video.

4Usage Transitions

If a session changes communication modes during a call, BlueCallio may calculate usage separately for the applicable periods.

For example: 10 minutes of Audio + 5 minutes of Video + 3 minutes of Screen Sharing.

Each applicable usage segment is rated according to its applicable rate.

5Participant Changes

If participants join or leave a session, usage is calculated according to the number of participants using the service during the applicable period.

Therefore, a single call can produce different participant-minute totals over its lifetime.

6Usage Records

BlueCallio's backend usage records are the authoritative source for billing calculations.

Customer dashboards may display estimated or current usage, but final invoices are generated from BlueCallio's billing records.

7Usage Rounding

BlueCallio tracks usage in per-second increments.

For invoice display, usage is rounded up to the nearest minute per usage segment. Billing is calculated on the underlying per-second usage.

8Free Allowance

Every account receives a monthly free allowance of 500 audio and 200 video participant-minutes, plus unlimited projects and developers.

Screen sharing has no free allowance and is always billable. Usage beyond the free allowance is billed at the applicable rates.

9Usage Alerts

BlueCallio may provide usage notifications when customers approach configured usage or spending thresholds.

Customers are responsible for monitoring their usage.

10Payment Authorization

Customers must maintain a valid payment method for paid usage.

Where supported, BlueCallio may automatically charge the customer's payment method for billable usage.

A 18% GST applies on billable usage.

11Failed Payments

If a payment fails, BlueCallio retries and notifies you, then enters a 7-day grace period.

During the grace period existing calls continue uninterrupted, but new calls are paused until the payment succeeds.

12Billing Disputes

Customers should report suspected billing errors within 30 days of the applicable invoice.

BlueCallio may review:

  • Call records
  • Participant events
  • Usage segments
  • Pricing rules
  • Payment records
