How a Conversation is counted

A Conversation counts once, in the UTC calendar month it first opens.

  1. A Conversation opens

    A visitor starts a chat on one of your products.

    Counted
    Month 1
  2. It continues

    Agent replies; the visitor leaves, and the reply continues by email.

    Not counted
    Month 1
  3. Closed

    The Conversation is resolved and closed.

    Not counted
    Month 1
  4. It reopens

    The customer replies next month; the same Conversation reopens.

    Not counted
    Month 2

The number of messages doesn't change that count. Replies, reopening a Closed Conversation and continuing the same chat by email do not count again — even when the reply comes in a later month.

A separate new Conversation counts separately, including one from a customer who has contacted you before.

If you go over your allowance

Incoming messages keep being accepted. Billing shows your usage, a 30-day grace window and plan options. Going over the allowance never blocks messages, never automatically upgrades your plan and never causes a surprise bill. For sustained overage, arrange a higher-volume plan.

Pricing questions

Is there a charge for every message?
No. Usage counts Conversations. Sending more messages in the same Conversation does not increase the count.
Is this a separate charge for each Conversation?
No. Hosted plans include a monthly Conversation allowance: Free includes 100 and Pro 1,000 new Conversations per month.
What happens if I go over my allowance?
Incoming messages keep being accepted. Billing shows your usage, a 30-day grace window and plan options. Going over the allowance never blocks messages, never automatically upgrades your plan and never causes a surprise bill. For sustained overage, arrange a higher-volume plan.
Does adding a product or teammate change the price?
No per-product and no per-seat charges. Products are unlimited on every plan; Free includes one agent and Pro has unlimited agents.
Can I self-host for free?
Yes. The AGPLv3 software has no self-hosting licence fee. You provide and maintain the infrastructure and email setup.
