The Texting Parrot
The Texting Parrot

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Per-trip AI concierges, an embeddable chat widget, and a dashboard your team owns from day one — all built on the same industry-standard plumbing as Netflix, Airbnb, and Walmart.

Two paths to launch · plus a Design Partner track

Pilot on 2 trips, or launch your full catalog from day one — your team owns the rest.

Trip counts are bundled for monthly capacity and onboarding. Additional trips use the Extra Trip add-on. Annual contracts receive 2 months free.

AI model flexibility

Pick the Right AI Model Per Trip

Switch any time. Every plan supports both Claude Sonnet (top reasoning) and Claude Haiku (fast and ~4× cheaper). Test both. Promote whichever wins.

Claude Sonnet

Top-tier reasoning

Use it for flagship trips or anywhere nuanced answers matter. 1 reply = 1 credit.

Claude Haiku

Lightweight, fast, ~4× cheaper

Great for high-volume FAQ traffic and smaller trips. 1 reply = 0.25 credits.

Test both, decide later

No vendor lock-in to either model

Set the model per trip in the dashboard. A/B test Sonnet vs Haiku on the same bot. Promote whichever wins.

Both models are Anthropic's Claude family, delivered through AWS Bedrock — the same enterprise-grade plumbing in either case.

ROI

What It's Worth to You

Built for a mid-size operator running a 15-person call center handling ~77,500 customer interactions per year. Your numbers will differ, but the shape of the math is typical.

Cost Savings (Deflection)

$116K – $174K

per year

The concierge deflects ~15% of routine interactions. At $10–$15 per interaction fully loaded, that replaces ~1.7 FTE rep salaries.

Customer Experience & Velocity

$50K – $150K

per year

Instant 24/7 answers shorten the decision cycle, deflect post-booking service calls, and lift satisfaction, reviews, and rebooking rates.

Intelligence Layer

$25K – $100K

per year

24/7 coverage, sub-2-second response time, cited auditable answers, and built-in market intelligence from question clustering.

Total Annual Value

~$191K

Conservative

~$312K

Moderate

~$424K

Aggressive

On a 2-trip pilot, the same per-trip economics apply — typically $25–55K of annual value, which is why most Starter pilots pay back inside one quarter.

Example Quotes

Same destination, different upfront commitment.

Path A · Pilot First — Two-Trip Pilot

Validate the concierge on two trips before committing to the full catalog.

Starter Plan$650 / mo

Light-touch onboarding (2 trips)$5,500

Pilot Year 1 (2 trips)$13,300
Year 2+ (monthly × 12)$7,800

Annual-contract incentive:2 months free → $6,500/yr subscription. Year 1 with annual commit: $12,000.

When you're ready to expand

  • Upgrade to Growth:$15,000 − $5,500 already paid = $9,500 upgrade fee
  • Then $950 / month going forward
  • Total onboarding still $15,000 — no penalty for piloting first. Your dollars credit fully toward Growth.

Path B · Full Catalog — 15-Trip Operator

A 15-rep call center with ~77,500 annual interactions and ~1,940 projected chat sessions per month.

Growth Plan$950 / mo
Extra trips (5 × $150)$750 / mo

Monthly total$1,700 / mo

Standard onboarding$15,000
Onboarding extra trips (5 × $2K)$10,000

Year 1 total$45,400
Year 2+ (monthly × 12)$20,400

Annual-contract incentive:2 months free → $17,000/yr subscription. Year 1 with annual commit: $42,000.

ROI at a Glance

  • Payback period: ~11 weeks
  • Year 1 ROI:~4.5× (conservative) to ~10× (aggressive)
  • Year 2+ ROI:~11× to ~25× (onboarding amortized)

Design Partner Program

Become a Design Partner

We're early. The customers who join us now have outsized influence on what gets built next — and the engineering effort to back it up.

What Design Partners Get

  • Direct roadmap influence

    Your priorities shape what we ship and when.

  • Shared-cost feature development

    Sponsor features that matter to your operation at the typical shared-development cost (see right column).

  • Charter-cohort recognition

    You're part of a small, named group helping shape the platform's first chapter.

  • Direct line to the founder

    No support-ticket queue between you and Adam.

How Shared-Cost Development Works

  1. 1

    You identify a feature gap that matters to your operation.

  2. 2

    We scope it together — defining complexity, fit, and how broadly other customers will benefit.

  3. 3

    We agree on a price. Most cross-tenant features ship at a one-time $650 per feature — that's the going rate when the work also benefits every other tenant and we share the cost. Highly bespoke requests (only your team will use it) get a separate scope-based quote.

  4. 4

    We build it; it ships in a future release with design-partner credit in the release notes.

$650 typical per feature·scoped collaboratively·never built without your sign-off

Why this works

Open standards end-to-end — TypeScript · AWS · REST · OpenAPI · JWT · JSON Schema · any TypeScript/AWS team can pick this up, including yours.
All infrastructure defined in plain code (AWS CDK) — nothing proprietary, fully reproducible.
Every vendor offers enterprise support and certified integrators — no single point of human failure, including ours.
Design partners own their dashboard from day one and stay in the driver's seat on every change.

Pilot on Two Trips, Launch the Full Catalog, or Join the Design Partner Program.

Whichever path you pick, your designated admin owns the dashboard from day one.
