    Inquiry assistant usage (both plans)
    First 25 conversations each monthFree
    Each website-chat or email conversation after that$1.25
    Each conversation that uses text messages$1.75

    A conversation is one couple's thread over 7 days, however many messages they send. Spam, bots and off-topic chats are never billed.

    You set a monthly cap (default $100). We alert you at 80%. At the cap, the assistant switches to draft mode: it still writes every reply, and you press send, so no inquiry is missed.

    Example: 80 inquiries in a month (60 by web or email, 20 by text) comes to $79 in usage.

    Why a monthly fee? The assistant and portals run on our servers, and every message costs us to send. If you cancel, they switch off and you keep an export of all your conversations and leads.

    Founding venue program. These beta prices apply for your first 3 months, with no setup fee, in return for honest feedback and a short case study. Rent-to-own and buy-outright options are coming after the beta.

    Goes straight to [email protected]. We reply within one business day. Nothing is charged.

    Questions venue owners ask
    Do we have to switch from HoneyBook, Dubsado or our current CRM?

    No. We work alongside what you use now, or plain email.

    Will the assistant make up prices or promise things we don't offer?

    No. It answers only from information you approve, shows where each answer came from, and passes anything else to you. You can review every conversation.

    How much of our time does this take?

    About an hour to walk us through your packages, policies and dates. After that, a few minutes a month to tell us about changes.

    What happens to our data if we cancel?

    It's yours. You get an export of your inquiries, couples and vendor records.
