What do I get in the free trial?
Everything in Business, free for 30 days. You don’t need a card to start.
What happens when my trial ends?
If you don’t subscribe, your business is paused. Customers can still message you and your team still sees every conversation, but the team can’t reply, and automatic answers and translation stop. Nothing is deleted. Choose a plan whenever you like and everything comes back.
How do automatic answers work?
You write answers to the questions customers ask most, like opening hours, prices or how to book. When a customer asks one of them, HeyChat replies right away, even when your team is busy or offline.
What happens when we reach a limit?
Your customers can always message you, and your team always sees every conversation. Once the month’s automatic answers are used, new questions wait for your team as if nothing matched. Once translation is used, your team sees the original text. Monthly limits start again on your billing date, and admins can see where they stand in the Usage tab.
Can we buy more translation?
Yes. On a paid plan, an admin can add 100,000 more characters for $5 + tax, as often as you need. They’re used after your monthly allowance and last until your next billing date.
How big are the knowledge bank and the answer bank?
The knowledge bank, the text HeyChat answers from, holds 2,000 characters on Solo, 20,000 on Starter, 20,000 on Restaurant and 200,000 on Business. The answer bank holds 20 on Solo, 100 on Starter, 100 on Restaurant and 1,000 on Business automatic answers switched on at once; switch one off to make room for another. Nothing is deleted if you move to a smaller plan: the earliest answers stay on and you choose again.
Who counts as a team member?
Anyone on your team who can open your shared inboxes. Customers you talk to are always free.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. An upgrade starts right away and you only pay the difference for the rest of your billing period. A smaller plan starts at your next renewal.
Can I pay yearly?
Yes. Paying yearly gets you one month free: Solo is $65.45, Starter $109.45, Restaurant $219.45 and Business $329.45 a year.
Do you take a cut of contracts?
No. Contracts are just a feature — HeyChat never touches the money.
Is tax included?
No. Sales tax, where it applies, is added at checkout, based on your billing address.
How can I pay?
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a US bank account.
