Pricing

One plan. £49 a month. Everything in it.

An AI receptionist that answers every call and books appointments straight into your Google Calendar, 24 hours a day. No tiers to decode, no per-minute meter, and a 30-day free trial before you pay a penny.

You do the work. The diary fills itself.

Setup is ten minutes, once: connect your Google Calendar, add your services and prices, point your number at it. After that there’s nothing to do: calls get answered day and night, and you just watch the bookings land in your diary.

£49 is the founding-rate price for the first ten businesses, and it stays £49 for as long as you’re subscribed. Later customers will pay £69. Start the free trial now and lock it in.

The going rate

What answering the phone actually costs.

A small business has four realistic options for its phone. Here they are, priced honestly.

To be fair to the humans: a good receptionist does far more than answer a phone, and if your business can justify one, hire one. Most one-chair salons and one-van businesses can’t. That’s who this is priced for.

The maths is short

One saved booking pays for the month.

62% of small-business calls never reach a human, and callers who hit voicemail rarely leave a message. They ring the next business on Google. Every one of those calls is work you already earned by ranking, advertising, or being recommended.

You don’t need it to be transformative. You need it to catch one call a month you’d have missed. Everything after that is profit.

Keeps itself paid

Everything included

“Everything” means these, switched on from day one.

A dedicated UK number

Hand it out, or forward your existing number to it. Confirmation texts come from the number the customer called.

24/7 answering

Evenings, weekends, bank holidays, and while your hands are mid-cut or mid-lesson. Every call gets picked up.

Real bookings, not messages

It reads your live Google Calendar, offers real slots, and books while the caller is still on the line, rescheduling and cancelling too.

Up to 5 staff included

Each staff member gets their own connected calendar and their own availability. No per-seat pricing.

A memory for regulars

“Mornings only for me” or “I’m allergic to bleach” is remembered and used naturally the next time that number rings.

Messages when it can't help

If a question is genuinely beyond it, it says so honestly and leaves the message on your dashboard before the caller hangs up.

Fair use is 500 call minutes a month, around 250 booked appointments at a typical two-minute call. If you ever use them all, calls pause until your month resets. There are no overage charges, because there is no such thing on this plan.

Pricing questions

Asked before paying. Fair enough.

Is there a setup fee?

No. £49 a month is the whole price. No setup fee, no onboarding charge, no notice period when you leave.

What does the 30-day free trial include?

Everything. Your number, calendar sync, staff calendars, SMS confirmations. It's the full product, not a cut-down version. If it doesn't book you more work than it costs, cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing.

What is the founding rate?

The first ten businesses pay £49 a month instead of the standard £69, locked in for as long as they stay subscribed. It's our thank-you for joining early, while the testimonial wall is still empty.

Do you charge per call or per minute?

No. The plan includes 500 call minutes a month, around 250 booked appointments at a typical two-minute call, and there are no per-call or per-minute charges on top.

What happens if I use all my minutes?

Calls simply pause until your month resets, and you'll see it coming on your dashboard well before it happens. You will never get a surprise overage bill; there is no such thing on this plan.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, from your dashboard, and it takes effect at the end of your billing period. No phone call required, no retention script.

Why is it so much cheaper than a receptionist or answering service?

Because it's software doing one job extremely well: answering, booking, confirming. A good human receptionist does far more, and if you can justify one, hire one. Most one-chair salons and one-van businesses can't. That's exactly who this is priced for.

Thirty days free. Then decide with your own numbers.

Set up in minutes, cancel from the dashboard, keep the bookings either way.
