WhatsApp, Instagram and web chat in one inbox
Gallabox covers WhatsApp, Instagram and web chat specifically, a narrower channel list than Respond.io's full spread of messaging apps.
Works with Instagram, WhatsApp
WhatsApp broadcasts and a shared team inbox
Wati centers on WhatsApp broadcasts and a shared inbox specifically, rather than routing every messaging app into one queue the way Respond.io does.
Works with Instagram, WhatsApp
AI agents that answer DMs and comments
Chatfuel answers with an AI agent automatically rather than routing to a human team, and it keeps a free tier where Respond.io has none.
Works with Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp
Shared inbox priced per workspace, not per seat
Crisp prices per workspace instead of by monthly contacts reached, so a large quiet audience does not raise the bill the way it can on Respond.io.
Works with Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp
Instagram and WhatsApp replies, sent automatically
Manychat automates the reply itself on Instagram and WhatsApp, with a free tier, rather than routing a live conversation to a paid human team the way Respond.io is built for.
Works with Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp
Open-source inbox for every channel at once
Chatwoot is open source, so a team can self-host and sidestep the per-contact pricing that punishes a big quiet audience on Respond.io.
