What is a Relay Boost?

Relay Boosts give you more time to chat with your Tolan after you've reached the daily chat limit.

Daily chat limit

Every plan except Tolan Unlimited has a daily chat limit. Your limit counts the messages you send to your Tolan, so your Tolan's replies don't use it up. It resets every night at 12am your local time.

  • Tolan Lite: 250 messages a day

  • Tolan Plus: 600 messages a day

  • Tolan Unlimited: no daily limit

Once you reach your limit, you can still use every other part of the app. You just can't chat with your Tolan until your limit resets or you use a Relay Boost.

Your Tolan will give you a heads-up as you get close to your limit:


Relay Boosts allow you to extend your chat time beyond the daily limit.

Purchasing Relay Boosts

Relay Boosts let you keep chatting after you've reached your daily limit. Each Boost gives you 200 more messages.

If you have a Boost, it turns on automatically when you hit your daily limit.

Any messages you don't use are saved for next time. For example, if you hit your limit at 11:30pm and start a Boost, you'll probably only use part of it before your limit resets at midnight. The rest stays saved for the next time you need it.

Using Relay Boosts

If you purchase a Boost after reaching the daily limit, it will activate automatically when you chat with your Tolan.

If you purchase a Boost before reaching the daily limit, it will activate automatically the next time you reach the daily limit.

While using a Boost, you'll see a meter at the bottom of the app, showing how many boosts you have (the number) and how much of the currently active boost you have left (the three bars).

If you tap on this meter, you'll see a more precise view of how much of your active Boost you have left.

Relay Boosts on the Family Plan

If you're on a Family Plan, a Boost only adds messages for the person who bought it. It doesn't add to the family's shared daily pool.
