PART 06 · THE FOUNDING OFFER
Ten places · opened June 2026

We're building this with ten organisations. Be one of them.

We're a young company with a strong opinion and a working product. We won't show you logos we don't have. What we need now is ten organisations who live this problem every day – and we're paying properly for the privilege.

Founding partners get the product at half price, the founders on a first-name basis, and a real say in what gets built next. In return we ask for the one thing money can't buy at this stage: your honest, public word that it works. And when the tenth place fills, this section comes off the page for good – the founding terms go with it.

Every founding place includes
  • Half price for two years, then today's list price locked for life
  • White-glove setup: your client-branded WhatsApp number set up for you, and your people moved onto governed relay groups and one-to-one bridges, done for you
  • The trustee pack on day one: data protection impact assessment template, privacy notices, staff and family comms, board briefing
  • A named line to the founders and a vote on the roadmap
  • In exchange: a reference call and a case study, once we've earned them
Guarantee · In the contract

The Answerable Guarantee

If a Subject Access Request touches your governed channels and you can't produce the WhatsApp side within one working day, our team works it with you, free – your hands on the records, ours on the method. If it still can't be produced, we refund your full year – every penny of your current year’s fee. The product has one job; this is us betting on it.

Exit · In the contract

The no-hostage clause

Leave whenever you like. The archive was always yours, in your own Microsoft 365 – there is nothing to hand back and barely anything to delete. We confirm in writing that the little we hold is gone, and there are no exit fees. If we're not earning the renewal, we shouldn't have it.

"A named line to the founders" is not a metaphor. I'm Terry Sullivan, I built this, and I read everything sent to enquiries@chat.org.uk myself. If you'd rather take our measure before booking anything, write to me directly.

PART 07 · THE NUMBERS
Pricing

Pricing built for schools, charities and care providers. No mystery line items.

No sales call needed to see the price; every number below is the number you pay. No platform fees, no per-seat counting, no setup hidden in the small print. One flat price per tier – no per-message fees, no per-participant creep, and adding the people you serve never increases your bill. Annual billing saves around two months on Foundation and Governance, onboarding is on us, and founding places take half off both – Enterprise founding terms are agreed in conversation.

The fair bit
One price per tier – the same whatever your headcount. Add every volunteer, family and resident you serve to governed groups at no extra cost, ever.
No per-message fees from us. No per-participant creep. The price is the tier – not a headcount.

Talk to us
The safety net Every tier carries both contract clauses from the founding offer: the Answerable Guarantee – the WhatsApp side of a SAR produced within a working day, or we work it with you free and refund your full year’s fee if we still can't – and the no-hostage clause. The risk of trying this sits with us.
Setup & onboarding Included on every annual plan. We set up your client-branded WhatsApp number and move your people onto governed relay groups going forward. No separate fee, ever.
If you need more Searching and exporting your own archive is never metered. If you'd like our team alongside for a SAR – on a call, scoping the searches your own people run – your allowance covers it; beyond that it's £150 each (Enterprise includes unlimited). Your data never passes through our hands. The Answerable Guarantee applies to every SAR either way. Optional extra training is £500 per half-day.
The honest anchor A single contested SAR or tribunal disclosure exercise routinely eats more staff time than a year of Governance costs. Price this against one bad month, not against zero.
The Founding Ten · places open

Find out where you stand before someone asks.

Thirty minutes with our team. Bring your messiest scenario – the group nobody admits to, the leaver with two years of messages – and leave with a one-page, board-ready summary of your WhatsApp exposure, plus a straight answer on whether we're the fit. Even if that answer is no.

The briefing: one page on WhatsApp exposure, written for boards. No follow-up unless you ask for one.
