Sensitive mode for incoming callers

Sensitive mode is optional on every plan, including Starter, for incoming external calls such as anonymous test calls. When enabled, Trin is directed not to confirm or deny who owns the business or whether a named person is connected to it; a neutral greeting replaces the custom public greeting, and Trin asks the reason for the call and takes a message. Owner-authorized outbound tasks retain their supplied context.

Can I compare these prices directly?

Does Call Trin include a CRM or calendar booking?
