Add a card and load your prepaid wallet before your first message or call. Unused funds never expire.
Start with messaging, then move to live video or voice. Calls and messages are paid from your wallet — only for the time you use.
No subscriptions. No hidden fees. Just pay for the time you use.
Before your first message or call, add a card and load your prepaid wallet (from $5 up). Calls and messages are paid from that balance — per minute for live video or voice, and per message for chat. You're billed only for time you actually use; your wallet is never overdrawn, and unused funds never expire. Marine experts choose their rates and receive payouts through Stripe. The platform takes a flat 12% on paid session time — the same prepaid-wallet model used across our Private Line network. No booking fees, no membership tiers, no surprises.
