 "honest_knock": "Two honest cautions. The $199 base is a floor: the scheduling-and-recall workflow most practices buy Weave for sits in the $149 Coordinate bundle, the AI Receptionist is priced only after you hand over an email, and setup fees and per-location terms are not printed, so get the whole order form in writing. And it's deeply tuned for healthcare and appointment-based practices; a general small business will find much of the workflow assumes a front desk and a patient schedule.",

  "notes": "Weave's plans page (getweave.com/plans, read 13 October 2026) is now a configurator: the base plan starts at $199 a month, and two pre-built bundles cost $149 a month each — Coordinate (online scheduling, digital forms, reminders and follow-ups, appointment confirmations, recall and reactivation) and Attract (reviews, Text Connect, email marketing with 10,000 emails, bulk texting with 5,000 texts). The AI Receptionist (messaging, or voice plus messaging) is in early access and, like the final configured price, is shown only after you submit an email. No long-term contract is required; year-long contracts are discounted. No free trial of the full platform. The page does not print a setup fee or say whether the price is per location; practice owners' reports of a one-time setup fee of about $750 and all-in costs of $400 to $700 a location are third-party, not Weave's figures.",
