Telephone Support Subscription Required After Initial Period

high support

The AccountEdge Hosted (cloud) plan includes only one month of telephone support at signup. After that initial period, ongoing phone support requires a separate Telephone Support add-on at $10/month. Without this subscription, users are limited to email and chat support, which one long-term customer described as ineffective when trying to resolve an account access issue that rendered the software non-functional.
