AI agents that answer DMs and comments
Chatfuel sits in the same place as Manychat and leans harder on the AI half: rather than only matching keywords to canned replies, it will hold a conversation and try to close a sale in the DM. That suits a creator selling a product more than one collecting emails. The free tier is thin enough to be a demo.
Only on this side
Chatbots you build by dragging blocks
Landbot is a visual builder for conversations, on a website widget, in Messenger or over WhatsApp, and the flow is a canvas rather than a script anybody has to write. Conditional logic, A/B tests and custom code blocks are there once the simple version stops being enough. Chats are metered per plan, so a bot that gets popular is a bot that needs the next tier.
Our note
AI chats are metered at ten cents each on top of the plan, and WhatsApp is priced per message beyond that. The $45 is a floor, so estimate volume before setting this against Manychat or Chatfuel.
