Urgent enquiries flagged

Flags urgent messages (burst geyser, dental trauma) and alerts you so a person can take over.

Qualifies leads

Captures name, number, need and budget so estate agents and law firms call back only warm leads.

Fraction of a hire

Frequently asked questions

Will customers know it's an AI?

The assistant can introduce itself as your practice's virtual receptionist. We recommend being transparent, and we set a short notice at the start of each chat by default.

Is it POPIA compliant?

We design for POPIA: customers are told they are chatting to an AI assistant, we collect only what's needed, and you stay the responsible party for your data. See our privacy notice. This is not legal advice. (Have an attorney confirm.)

How much does it cost?

Starter R999, Growth R1,999 and Pro R3,499 per month, plus a once-off setup fee of R1,500, R2,500 and R4,500 respectively. See pricing.

What is a "conversation"?

Each plan includes a monthly allowance of conversations across WhatsApp and website chat combined: 250 (Starter), 600 (Growth) and 1,500 (Pro). Extra conversations are R2.50, R2.00 and R1.50 each. (Confirm the exact conversation definition before launch.)

What does the once-off setup fee cover?

Configuring your FAQs, tone, WhatsApp number and website chat, testing and go-live. Growth adds calendar connection, document upload and 1 hour of staff training; Pro adds multi-number/site setup, an integration and 2 hours of training. The fee is payable before work starts.

Is there an annual discount?

Yes. Pay annually upfront and get 2 months free: R9,990 (Starter), R19,990 (Growth) or R34,990 (Pro) per year. VAT may apply.

Are there any other fees?

WhatsApp (Meta) messaging fees, where they apply, are passed through at cost with no mark-up and shown in rand on your invoice. Extra conversations and the optional phone add-on are billed as described on the pricing section. VAT may apply.

Can it answer phone calls?

Phone (voice) answering is an optional add-on for any plan, priced separately by usage (availability to be confirmed). Every plan includes WhatsApp and website chat.

Can it handle urgent enquiries?

It flags urgent messages and alerts you so a person can take over. Growth and Pro add a "talk to a person" hand-off, and Pro adds after-hours callback capture.

Which languages are supported?

English on Starter; English and Afrikaans on Growth and Pro. Other South African languages on Pro are on request (to be confirmed).

Which calendars and systems does it connect to?

Google Calendar (Growth: 1 calendar; Pro: up to 3), plus CSV / Google Sheets lead export and one CRM/Sheets integration on Pro. Other systems (to be confirmed).

What if the power or internet goes down?

CallCatch runs in the cloud, so it keeps answering your WhatsApp and website chats during load shedding at your premises.

Is there a contract?

You start with a 7-day pilot before go-live. After the first 3 months the plan is month-to-month. (Final terms are in the client agreement.)
