Shape the product. Run it free for a year.

what you get

Full access. Real influence.

Full product access, zero cost

12 months of TheChatApp at the tier matching your team size — cloud or self-hosted, all add-ons included. When the free year ends, you keep your rate — no forced upgrade, no sudden renewal.

Direct product influence

See the roadmap. Submit prioritised feature requests each quarter. Test pre-release builds two weeks before anyone else. What we build next is driven by how you actually work, not a wishlist from a boardroom.

White-glove onboarding

Dedicated setup session, migration assistance, and a direct support channel with the founder and engineering team. Four-hour response time, not four-day.

Permanent pricing lock

After your free year, lock in current pricing for three years. If we raise prices, yours stays the same.

100% referral credit

Refer a firm that subscribes and get a credit equal to their full subscription value — for as long as they stay. Refer enough firms and your subscription pays for itself, indefinitely.

Founding partner status

A permanent badge in your admin dashboard. Case study and co-marketing opportunities — on your terms, anonymous if you prefer.

what we ask

Three simple commitments.

01

Twenty minutes a week

A short weekly call with your designated contact — what worked, what didn't, what's missing. Shifts to biweekly after month three.

02

Real daily usage

TheChatApp must be your team's primary communication tool. At least 60% of your users active each month. We want signal from real daily use, not a sandbox.

03

Honest feedback

Report friction promptly. Be candid in quarterly reviews. Take up to two reference calls a quarter from prospects — anonymous if you'd rather.
