# PaidLine: Get paid every time your PaidLine rings

PaidLine is a monetized phone number for professionals, experts and creators. You set a per-minute rate; callers hear it and authorize payment before they're connected; PaidLine handles timing, billing, receipts and monthly payouts to your bank. It works with the smartphone you already have: no app to install, no hardware to buy, and your personal number stays private.

PaidLine isn't a directory. You share your PaidLine number anywhere a phone number goes (bio, website, business cards, email signature, podcasts, billboards) and bring your own audience.

## At a glance

- **10%** all-in fee per completed call. No setup fee.
- **Under 10 minutes** from sign-up to a live number.
- **30-second grace period:** calls under 30 seconds aren't billed.
- **Monthly payouts** to your U.S. bank account, no reserve held.
- **Pro plan:** $179 for the first year, then $359/year. Calling a Pro is free to sign up for.

## How it works

1. **Pick your number.** Choose a local area code or a vanity number that spells your brand.
2. **Set your rate and hours.** Name your per-minute rate and the hours you take calls. PaidLine stays quiet when you want peace.
3. **Share it anywhere.** Bio, website, email signature, DMs, business cards, podcasts.
4. **Get paid.** Earnings appear in your dashboard in real time; deposits land in your bank monthly.

## What's included

**Your line**
- Your number stays private: callers see your PaidLine number, never your real one.
- Local or vanity number.
- Works with any smartphone; calls forward to your phone.

**Your rate, your hours**
- Set your own per-minute rate and change it anytime (higher rates available on request and approval).

**Every call**
- Callers hear your rate and confirm before they're connected.
- Calls under 30 seconds aren't billed.
- Returning callers save their card once for instant billing.
- Call back, still earn: return a missed call or follow up, and billing flows the same direction.

**Money**
- Real-time dashboard: earnings, call history, customers and payouts.
- Monthly payouts on the 2nd Friday of each month to your linked U.S. bank account.
- Bank-level security: encrypted in transit; card numbers never touch PaidLine.
