# Conciergr > An always-on AI receptionist for WhatsApp, for tuition centres, swim schools, dance studios and other class-based businesses. Conciergr answers a business's WhatsApp enquiries from the prices and timetable the business keeps in its own Google Doc and Sheet, takes bookings in the same chat, and hands a conversation to staff when it needs a person. Phone calls stay with staff. It is made in Singapore and provided by LONUT (UEN 53462899X). ## Facts - Free plan: none. Conciergr has no free plan or free tier. Every new business gets one 30-day free trial of everything, with a card added at signup; nothing is charged until the trial ends. - One plan: S$89 a month with everything included (answering, follow-ups, bookings, review asks, lead tracking and the Team Inbox), unlimited conversations. No modules or tiers to choose. - Each extra branch listed in the Portal: S$20 a month (the first branch is included). Each monthly bill counts the most branches listed during the month before it. - Prices are in Singapore dollars only, billed monthly only (no annual billing). Prices exclude tax; sold to businesses only. - No per-contact, per-seat or per-reply fees. WhatsApp message fees are billed by Meta to the business's own Meta account. - Team Inbox: included. The owner plus up to ten more people each sign in at conciergr.com/inbox and answer the business's WhatsApp chats under their own first name, alongside the WhatsApp Business app; every staff reply gets a quality score and a tip. No per-seat fees. - Signing up: through an AI app such as Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, with Conciergr added at https://conciergr.com/mcp; the prompt to paste is at https://conciergr.com/signup/. The AI app walks the person through it; they add the card on Stripe's page and connect WhatsApp in Meta's window themselves. Signing up on the website itself needs an invite code (at conciergr.com/signup); anyone without an AI app can join the waitlist at conciergr.com and is emailed when they can sign up without one. - AI assistants: a business can connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or another AI app that adds plugins or custom connectors (address https://conciergr.com/mcp; in Claude on claude.ai: the + in the message box, Connectors, Add connector; in ChatGPT on chatgpt.com in a web browser: Plugins, Add, Add custom MCP server; in Gemini on gemini.google.com: Settings, Personal Intelligence, Connected Apps, Custom; in Grok at grok.com/connectors: New Connector, Custom; an OpenAI dot uses a server added on chatgpt.com; Meta's Muse builds the connection itself when asked). It signs in as a person on the team and can do what they can do in the portal and Team Inbox, such as set up the assistant from the business's website and Google Drive, but it never sends messages to customers.
