What is an emergency contact?

A second pair of eyes, not a second user.

On the Pair plan, the second seat is for someone Ancilla can check with when a problem needs a second opinion — a grown-up child, a partner, or a trusted neighbour. It is about escalation and peace of mind, not sharing one chat between two people.

Growing households

Room for everyone under one roof.

The Family plan covers up to 4 people. If your household is bigger, you can add extra family members for £1.99 per month each, up to 8 people in total — so nobody is left without a calm first place to ask.
