Fair use routing usage charges

Fair use policy

Genesys has a fair use policy for Basic Routing / IVR for Genesys Cloud. Customers can use up to the “fair use” basic IVR amounts allocated by user without charge. Basic IVR is consumed when using inbound call, outbound call and secure call flows and includes the full set of features detailed further below. In-queue call flows are not part of basic IVR and do not count against the IVR usage. Tools are provided to track actual basic IVR usage. Customers who exceed the basic IVR allocation are billed a charge per minute per month as outlined in this article. The fair use allocations are provided for your organization by counting the number of billable users of each license type during the period, and applying the allowance shown in the table below for each user to determine the total amount of allocated IVR minutes for your organization during the period.
