What does it cost?
The website chat plan is A$49 a month + GST. It includes text chat, voice chat with 60 voice minutes a month, and every chat saved in Bludge. There is no setup fee and no minimum term, and the first 30 days are free from the day it goes live.
What happens if we use all 60 voice minutes?
Voice calls pause until next month, and text chat keeps answering. There is no extra charge. We email you at 80% and again when they are used up.
Is there a limit on text messages?
Text has no monthly limit. To stop misuse, it answers up to 200 messages a day by default. You can change this in Bludge, up to 1,000 a day.
Does it work with my website?
Yes, if you can add a line of code to your site. That includes WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and most website builders. A Bludge website already includes it.
Can my team reply to visitors in the chat?
Not inside the chat. It answers on its own, and you can read every chat in Bludge. Voice callers can leave a message, which you follow up from Bludge.
Will it make things up?
It answers only from information you approve, and it is told to say when it doesn’t know. The chat also tells visitors that AI can make mistakes.
What happens to chat transcripts?
You can read every chat in Bludge. Transcripts are stored encrypted, and visitors are told not to share passwords or card details.
What doesn’t it do?
It answers only from information you approve, and it can’t see your private records. Your team can’t reply inside the chat. Text chat can’t take a message, but voice callers can. It books only if you turn booking on and your bookings are set up in Bludge. It never takes card details in the chat.
