WhatsApp, Instagram and web chat in one inbox
Gallabox is a shared inbox for WhatsApp Business, Instagram and a website widget, with a drag-and-drop bot builder in front of it and a CRM sync behind it. It is aimed at teams answering sales questions rather than at a single creator answering DMs, and the seat caps on the cheap plan say so.
Our note
Worth it if WhatsApp is where your customers already are and there is more than one of you answering. The three-account cap on Basic is a hard cap rather than a soft one, so count your team before choosing that tier.
Instagram and WhatsApp replies, sent automatically
Manychat is the tool behind every post that says comment LINK and I will send it to you. It watches for a keyword in comments or DMs and answers with a message, a link or a sequence, which turns a post that got reach into an email list. Instagram is where most creators use it. Messenger, WhatsApp and TikTok are also connected.
Our note
Worth knowing before you build a funnel on it: the contact meter counts anybody who interacted in the month, so one post that does numbers can move you two tiers. Check the per-contact overage rate, not just the headline price.
