What’s the pricing model?
Pseudophone operates on a license time model, not a subscription. You can purchase 1, 3, or 6-month licenses.
Do licenses auto-renew?
No. You manually purchase or top-up licenses as required.
How do I extend a license?
Purchase additional time and specify it’s a “top-up” by saying “Top up: [EXISTING KEY]“. Contact support if top-up isn’t reflected within 48 hours.

Prop Rentals
How do I inquire about the availability of a specific prop?
You can use the search bar on our Store page to find specific items. If you’re unsure or need assistance, feel free to contact our team with your requirements, and we’ll guide you through our inventory.
How is the rental price determined?
The rental price is based on the type of prop and the duration of the rental. We offer both preset prices for a common rental duration and customized pricing based on the specific needs of your production.
Do you deliver and ship props, or do I need to pick them up?
We offer both pickup and delivery options for our props, within Winnipeg. Delivery will be subject to additional charges based on location and the size/weight of the props. We also ship props within Canada, and the option is available at checkout within our online store. For more complicated orders, please contact us.
Can I rent a prop for an extended period? What if I need it longer than initially planned?
Yes, props can be rented for extended periods. If you find you need a prop longer than anticipated, please contact us as soon as possible to adjust your rental agreement. Additional charges may apply based on the extended duration.
How do I return props once the rental period is over?
Props can be returned to our location, or we can arrange for pickup if that was part of your initial agreement. All props should be returned in the same condition they were rented.
Is there a security deposit for prop rentals?
A security deposit is required for certain props, especially high-value or unique items. The deposit amount and conditions will be detailed in your rental agreement.
What happens if a prop is damaged or lost during the rental period?
If a prop is damaged or lost, the security deposit (if applicable) may be used to cover repair or replacement costs. Specific terms will be outlined in your rental agreement. We understand that accidents happen, so we recommend reviewing the agreement and discussing any concerns with our team in advance.
Can I view or inspect a prop before renting?
Absolutely! We encourage customers to inspect items before renting to ensure they meet production requirements. Please contact us to schedule a visit with our team to view props in person.
What is your return policy on props?
If there is a need for an early return of a prop, please contact us directly.
