How the À La Carte plan works

When you sign up for this plan, you get:

  • 24/7 live, professional chat agents
  • Staffed website chat, using our proprietary chat software installed on your website
  • SMS text answering at no extra cost (each SMS conversation counts as a chat, if relevant)
  • One free CRM integration, as with all other live-staffed chat plans
  • Free white-glove setup, as with all other live chat plans

Here's how the pricing breaks down:

  • $0 monthly cost
  • $10/chat cost (whenever we handle relevant chats for you)
  • Pay only for relevant chats — never spam, sales, or other illegitimate chat

Questions? We've got answers!

Is there a setup cost?

Nope! We offer free white-glove setup and will install our chat software on your website, as well as style, configure, and test you chat widget, completely for free.

Is there a monthly minimum?

No, there is no monthly charge, ever, even if you go months without a chat due to seasonal shifts in consumer demand, a sabbatical, a new website launch that gets delayed, or any other reason.

Do I pay instantly or are my relevant chats charged to me in a monthly bill?

You will receive an invoice monthly (for any relevant chats that occurred in that billing period), and it will be automatically charged to the card on file. You will need to supply a credit card when you sign up, for this reason. Billing is easy and automatic, and you can see your payments in your Chat dashboard anytime. Your monthly bill is also emailed to you.

Is there a cancellation fee?

No, there are no cancellation fees. We do ask, if you want to cancel, please allow 7 days' notice.

Are all live chat agents available 24/7?

Yes, we will answer your chats and texts 24/7/365.

Is live-staffed chat bilingual?

Yes, all bilingual chats are seamlessly handled, thanks to our real-time English-Spanish translation.

Can I change my plan to/from À La Carte if I want to switch chat plans?

Yes, you can convert your À La Carte plan to one of our live-staffed chat plans if your chat volume is high enough so those plans provide savings to you. You can also change from our other live-staffed chat plans or our chatbot to the À La Carte chat plan. Please always provide at least 7 days' notice when requesting to switch plans.
