How we grade them
| 1.4GPABikWeak | 2.2GPASleekFlowFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$350 a month for Growth and $499 for Scale, both capped at 10,000 contacts. That's well above the $149 where this category's dearest tenth begins. | DBroadcasts start on Pro at $109 a month billed yearly for 500 active contacts, and each extra 100 is $20, so messaging 1,000 customers a month comes to $209. That's near the dear end even against its WhatsApp rivals, and the $15 WhatsApp number fee and message charges come on top. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial on the pricing page. | CNo free plan, but a 7-day free trial of Pro with 500 monthly active contacts and no credit card. Short, but enough to plug in a channel and look around. |
| Features | CJourneys, helpdesk, AI agents, a customer data platform and several WhatsApp numbers. Growth has 1 workspace and 20 automations, and WhatsApp message fees from Meta aren't shown. | BThe whole job across WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok, SMS, Telegram, Viber, email and calls, plus AI agents, broadcasts, a flow builder and contact records with lifecycle stages. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It connects to a store and needs journeys and automations built before it does anything. | CNo App Store rating on record. Each channel needs connecting, then there are flows and AI agents to build, and an active-contact count to watch. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with Shopify and Google Sheets listed. No phone or desktop app is on record. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Shopify, Zapier, Make and API access from Pro, and Stripe payment links. HubSpot and Zoho start on Premium and Salesforce on Enterprise, and there's no desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | WhatsApp and Instagram messaging for online stores | one inbox for WhatsApp, social, SMS and email |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
