CLEAR PLANS. YOUR RECORD.
Personal conversations start free. For your organisation, every paid plan includes setup, meets your retention schedules within your own connected Microsoft 365 subscription and carries the Answerable Guarantee.
One private group channel, direct messages and up to 25 people.
Three calendar months of recent history. No Microsoft 365 archive or Replay. Older messages expire; upgrading cannot restore them.Every new sign-in sends an alert to your other devices that have notifications turned on. Keep your owner recovery key: if your number goes unused in your workspace for 90 days, a device that signs in after that needs it.
FOR YOUR ORGANISATION
No per-person or per-message charges. Setup included.

Not sure how many channels you need?
Tell us how your people work. We’ll help you choose.
Governance in your continuity plan.
Ten channels leave room to keep a standing channel for incident or out-of-hours cover alongside your everyday ones. People sign in with their own mobile number, not your Microsoft 365 accounts, so those already in your channels can still be reached if your organisation’s Microsoft 365 sign-in is unavailable. Your administrators still sign in with Microsoft, so plan who will act. ComplyChat targets 99.9% monthly availability, which excludes outages of Azure, of your own Microsoft 365 tenant and of SMS networks that we cannot reasonably mitigate (see our terms); it is a second route to plan for, not a guarantee.
Choose for the channels and support you need. The foundation of a governed conversation comes with every paid plan.
Meet your retention schedules within your own Microsoft 365 subscription, once connected and verified.
Staff can answer your public chat-to-us lines from Teams, each person in their own Teams thread. You can also choose, channel by channel, to mirror a group channel into a standard Teams channel, while its members carry on in ComplyChat. Teams Store listing coming soon.
Voice notes, photos, files, polls, events, tasks and acknowledgements.
Setup and trustee pack templates included. Templates are not legal advice.
Three quick questions – see how it works for an organisation like yours, and exactly what it costs. Nothing to fill in, no email needed.
A record held centrally is one search. Messages on personal phones are not.

Once your paid archive is connected and verified, if you cannot produce the governed record for a subject access request within one working day, we work it with you at no additional charge. If we still cannot produce it, we refund the current year’s fee, subject to the terms.
Read the guarantee and conditionsYour filed archive stays in your Microsoft 365 when you leave. No exit fees.
Read the no-hostage termsYes. Setup is included on every paid plan, whether you pay monthly or yearly. Optional additional training is £500 per half-day.
No. Paid plans have no per-person, per-message or SMS metering charges.
Searching and exporting your own record is never charged by the use. If you want our team alongside for a request, helping plan the searches your own people run, assisted support is £450 a request. The Answerable Guarantee applies either way.
Your tier sets how many channels you run. If you grow beyond it, the next tier is a conversation with us, never a surprise on an invoice.
Yes. A private line counts as one channel. Every person who reaches it gets their own private thread inside it, and those threads, like direct messages, do not count against your plan’s channel allowance. For example, Foundation’s two channels could be one private line for a whole school’s families and one channel for staff.
No. Each channel can have its own local number – or none, if people join by invitation or link. We set numbers up with you, and they are live within days, not on the day.
We invoice for bank transfer and support purchase orders. Card payment through Stripe is available if you prefer. Yearly plans are invoiced in advance.
Your organisation needs its own Microsoft 365 for the paid archive. People joining conversations do not need Microsoft accounts.
Free keeps three calendar months of recent history. Older messages expire automatically, and upgrading cannot restore them. The paid archive starts once connected; Free has no Microsoft 365 archive or Replay.
