## Frequently asked questions

**What does ManicBot cost?**

45 PLN/mo (Start, 1 master), 60 PLN/mo (Pro, 5 masters + AI + Google Calendar), 90 PLN/mo (Max, unlimited). 14-day free trial. No per-booking commission. No transaction fees.

**Which booking channels does ManicBot support?**

Telegram bot, Instagram Direct, WhatsApp Business, and an embeddable web chat widget. All four feed into one unified AI receptionist with a shared conversation history.

**Does ManicBot work for independent nail masters or only for salons?**

Both. Independent masters create a personal tenant on the same 45/60/90 PLN plans and manage their own services and schedule without belonging to a salon.

**What languages does the AI receptionist speak?**

Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, and English. The bot detects the client language from the first message and replies in the same language.

**Does ManicBot take a commission on bookings?**

No. The price is the monthly subscription only. No per-booking fee, no per-message fee, no marketplace cut — the booking flows through your own Telegram/Instagram/WhatsApp account, not through ManicBot.

**How does the Google Calendar integration work?**

Two-way sync. Busy blocks from the connected Google Calendar are honoured when the AI offers slots, and every confirmed appointment is mirrored back as a Calendar event the master can edit or move.
