FenceChat is opening in the United States with all three plans, once it is ready to launch. Until then, you can join the US waitlist and we will email you once, when sign-ups open.

What FenceChat does

You give the other person a FenceChat email address, and on the Protected and Legal plans a FenceChat phone number, instead of your own. Their messages pass through FenceChat, where AI takes out insults, threats and manipulation and passes on the facts. Your real email address and number stay private, your replies go back the same way, and the original of every message is kept in your encrypted Archive.

Who it is for

• Co-parents, including when the other parent will not join a co-parenting app.
• Anyone still in contact with a hostile ex.
• Small business owners and sole traders dealing with a hostile client, customer, former employee or business partner.
• Landlords, tenants, neighbours and family members stuck in a bitter dispute.

What the other person sees

They keep using ordinary text and email. Nobody else installs anything or creates an account. The first time they make contact, they get a one-time notice that their messages are processed by AI and stored.

Plans

• Essential: email filtering and a private Archive.
• Protected: adds text message filtering with a FenceChat number, and a longer Archive.
• Legal: for people in legal proceedings, with the longest Archive and an export formatted for legal proceedings.

See Pricing for each plan. Prices are shown in your own currency.

Court orders come first

If a court has ordered you to use a particular co-parenting app, or a protective order limits contact, follow the order. FenceChat does not replace a court-ordered app, and it must never be used to contact someone an order says you must not contact.
