Frequently asked questions

  • Is there a free trial available?
    Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial with full access to all features.
  • Why is Telesto so affordable?
    We believe powerful inventory management shouldn't be a luxury. Telesto is built to be accessible to individuals and small-to-midsize businesses, not just large companies with big budgets.

    A few reasons we can keep prices low:

    - We run lean. Our operating costs are low, and we pass those savings directly to you.

    - We're independent. Telesto is self-funded, so we're not under pressure to chase aggressive profit targets for outside investors. We can price fairly instead.

    - Built by a small, focused team. No corporate layers or unnecessary overhead, just people who care about making a genuinely useful product.

    Low price doesn't mean low quality. You get the same full-featured app, regular updates, and premium support regardless of what you pay. Our goal is simple: help more businesses run better, and grow alongside them.
