## Ways to pay less

- **Up to 20% off with annual billing** (Annual discount): Trengo's pricing page says annual billing saves up to 20%: Boost is €299 a month billed annually against €349 monthly, and Pro €499 against €599. Source: https://trengo.com/prices

## Key features

- **One inbox for messaging channels:** Email, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, TikTok, live chat and SMS arrive in one shared inbox with assignment, labels, mentions and internal comments.
- **Official WhatsApp Business API:** WhatsApp is built in on every plan, and WhatsApp service conversations are not charged; broadcast campaigns over messaging apps are an add-on.
- **HelpMate AI agent:** An AI agent that suggests and sends replies on its own, with an AI surcharge on each conversation it handles and reports on how it resolves questions.
- **AI Journeys:** Automations that run conversations and workflows across several steps and channels. The pricing page marks it as a beta whose packaging may change.
- **Help center:** A customer help center hosted at help.trengo.com, which can be moved to your own domain.
- **Store, booking and CRM links:** Integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, HubSpot and Salesforce, and with holiday and booking platforms such as Booking.com and Airbnb.

## Good for

- European businesses that handle much of their service over WhatsApp
- Hospitality, travel and leisure companies using booking platforms
- Teams of up to 10 or 20 people who want one fixed monthly price

## Worth knowing

- Prices are set in euros; the dollar view on the pricing page converts them at a live exchange rate.
- Conversations past the allowance cost €18 per 100 billed monthly (€15 yearly); AI-handled ones add €0.30 each (€0.25 yearly).
- Extra users cost €30 a month on Boost and €50 on Pro (€25 and €40 yearly); broadcasting and phone calling are add-ons.
- There are no native apps: Trengo runs in a browser and can be added to a phone's home screen.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. Trengo is a shared inbox built around WhatsApp, with email, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok, chat and SMS beside it, an AI agent and a help center. It's priced in euros as one flat fee for up to 10 people, which is fine for a team of eight and steep for two. And it runs in a browser only, with no phone or desktop app.

- **Value for money: D.** Boost is €299 a month billed yearly (€349 monthly) for up to 10 users, so a team of five pays about €60 a head, well above the dearest tenth of help desks at $39. On your own, it's the full €299. It does include 6,000 conversations a year and the WhatsApp API.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 7-day free trial with no card needed, which is short for a tool this costly. There's no free plan after it.
- **Features: B.** One inbox for email, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok, chat and SMS, the HelpMate AI agent, a help center, multi-step automations and links to stores, CRMs and booking sites. Phone calling is an add-on, but the job is covered.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You connect the WhatsApp Business API and each other channel, then set up AI flows, and the AI Journeys part is still marked as a beta.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** It runs in a browser only, with no app for phones or computers, though you can add it to a phone's home screen. The connections help: Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Booking.com and Airbnb, plus an API.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Trengo you would be making one mailbox that several people work at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 14 of the 19 other help desk and live chat tools grade higher. It costs $4,020.71 a year.

- You could make: Help center: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: One mailbox that several people work at once.
- You could not: An AI model answering your customers from your own help articles.
- You could not: A chat box on your site that reaches you the moment a customer types.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento 2 among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
