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.

WhatsApp broadcasts and a shared team inbox
Wati sits on the official WhatsApp Business API and gives a team one inbox for it, plus broadcast campaigns and keyword automations. For a creator whose audience lives in WhatsApp groups, that is the difference between a personal phone and something two people can answer. Message charges from Meta land on top of the subscription, which is the part that surprises people.
Our note
Meta's per-message charges sit on top of the subscription and move with message category, so the $59 is a starting point rather than a bill. Whether it is worth paying is a question about where the audience already is, not about features.
