- What is a charged conversation?
- A charged conversation is the first AI reply in a new DM thread. You are not billed per message — but each thread includes up to 12 AI replies at your plan rate. Beyond that, the total cost doubles for every additional 12 AI replies (2×, 4×, 8×…) to prevent abuse of extremely long threads.
- Is the Free plan really free?
- There is no monthly fee on Free. You still pay per conversation ($0.32 each) when AI handles live DMs. Basic AI training is included: manual persona editing, 1 guided interview, and 3 link extractions per month.
- Why pay monthly if conversations cost extra?
- Monthly plans unlock more AI features — Persona Studio, YouTube sync, automations, and larger training word allowances. Paid tiers also lower your per-conversation rate, which adds up fast at volume.
- What are training words?
- Training words measure how much content you ingest into your persona — chat exports, link extracts, interview transcripts, and video summaries. Higher tiers include larger monthly allowances.
- Do I need a paid plan to go live?
- No. Free works with prepaid conversation credits. Upgrade when you need deeper AI training, automations, or a lower per-conversation rate.
- What happens on very long DM threads?
- If a single thread exceeds 12 AI replies, your total charge doubles. Every additional 12 AI replies doubles it again (2×, then 4×, then 8×). Normal sales funnels rarely hit this — it protects against exploit-style endless chats.
- What happens when credits run out?
- Your agent pauses on all tiers until you buy more credits. There is no surprise post-pay billing — everything is prepaid.
- What is founding member pricing?
- The first 500 signups lock in reduced monthly rates for 12 months, a lower per-conversation rate, and +100 bonus conversations on first purchase. Free tier stays $0/month for everyone.
- How does Replymate compare to Delphi or ManyChat?
- Delphi sells profile Q&A minds; ManyChat sells rule-based flows. Replymate is built for sales DMs — funnel-aware conversations that close across social platforms. See our comparison pages for details.
- Can I sell access to my AI mind?
- Public Mind — letting your audience pay to chat with your trained persona — is coming soon. Train once, monetize in DMs and with fans.
